      "How? Amontillado? A pipe? Impossible! And in the middle of the carnival!"

      "I have my doubts. And I was silly enough to pay the full Amontillado price without consulting you in the matter. You were not to be found, and I was fearful of losing a bargain."

      "Amontillado!"

      "I have my doubts."

      "Amontillado!"

      "And I must satisfy them."

      "Amontillado!"

 

      "As you are engaged, I am on my way to Luchesi. If any one has a critical turn, it is he. He will tell me --"

      "Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry."

      "And yet some fools will have it that his taste is a match for your own."

      "Come, let us go."

      "Whither?"
