The four parts of the above excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" which shows that the White family doubts the Major's story are:
1.) "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'” said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."
2.) "If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it."
3.) "Likely," said Herbert, with pretended horror. "Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked."
4.) Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said, slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."
When the Major told the story about the Monkey's paw to the White Family they didn't trust the story. It was for them a tale which can never happen in real life. The conversation between Mr. and Mrs. White regarding the Monkey's paw had a humorous approach. Their son Herbert was also excited to test the reality of the paw and become rich by making a wish from it.

Answer:
Hektor believes in the gods.
Explanation:
The Greek myth of "Hektor and Achilleus" revolves around the Battle of Troy where Hektor, the prince of Troy and Achilles, a Greek warrior had been fighting each other. The main background of the whole story line is based off "The Illiad" by Homer.
In the Battle of Troy, Paris had taken Helen, the wife of Menelaus, a Greek King of the Spartan kingdom. Though she went voluntarily to be with Paris, it led to the now famous "Battle of Troy". The quote in the question is said by Hektor, and reveals his belief in the gods. He holds a sense of honor for the dead, and promises Achilles he won't defile his body should he die. But Achilles did not have the same sense of respect, which sets him apart from Hektor. Hektor, on the other hand, have a more responsible and respect for the gods and their ways. Preserving and upholding the code of honor, he shows his chivalry and rightful behavior, unlike Achilles who is consumed by anger and just wants revenge.
