Read this passage from “The Monkey’s Paw.” How is the third person omniscient point of view established?

Without, the night was cold and wet, but in the small parlour of Laburnum villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly. Father and son were at chess; the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical chances, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire.

We know what all of the characters are thinking.

The comment by the old lady is not given.

The conflict is established right away.

We know what the situation is both inside and outside of the house.
