For example the openings quote from 'The Monkey's Paw' is '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.' This quote introduces two characters, Mr White and his son Herbert and describes the settings. As you can tell from this quote the story uses
