- “My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met. How remarkably well you are looking to-day
- Hello there Monstresor!
- It's the start of the Carnival Season, and I thought it would be a good idea to dress up and go to a local Carnival to celebrate. I decided to have a drink to start my experience. After a few, I noticed a long-time friend coming up to me.

- But I have received a pipe of what passes for Amontillado, and I have my doubts.”
- “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—”

- As we talked and caught up on everything happening lately, Monstresor mentioned this new Amontillado that needed tasting, and how he was on the way to Luchesi's house, my nemesis for him to try it. I couldn't believe he didn't come to me to try it. Luchesi isn't as nearly as good as me. Since I'm here now, it would be easier if I just came with him instead of him going all the way to his house. Even though I don't feel the best, I can never say no to helping a friend try wine, especially when I'm the best at it.

- “Come,” I said, with decision, “we will go back; your health is precious. You are rich, respected, admired, beloved; you are happy, as once I was. You are a man to be missed.
- “Enough,” he said; “the cough is a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough.”

- I finished my bottle of wine and followed Monstresor mindlessly to his estate. When we got there, there was no one there so we went through some rooms with archways and down some stairs. At the bottom were the dark, damp catacombs that were under the building. The dust and low-quality air caused me to begin coughing. Monstresor tried to convince me to go back up but with the mention of Luchesi, I refused. I am the best at what I do.

- “How?” said he. “Amontillado? A pipe? Impossible! And in the middle of the carnival!”
- “Luchesi cannot tell Amontillado from Sherry.”
- “Ugh! ugh! ugh!—ugh! ugh! ugh!—ugh! ugh! ugh!—ugh! ugh! ugh!—ugh! ugh! ugh!”
