Neuqucyhttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201206/201206150222381423117.mp3Fortunato turned and still hold me by the arm. Hold me down the street to my home.
The building was empty. My servants were enjoying carnival. I knew they would be gone all night. I took two large candles, lit them and gave one to Fortunato. I started down the dark, twisting stairway with Fortunato close behind me. At the bottom of the stairs, the damp air racked its s around our bodies.
"Where are we?" Fortunato asked, "I thought you said the cask of Amontillado, you say, in your wine cellar."
"It is," I said, "The wine cellar is just beyond these tombs where the dead of my family are kept. Surely you are not afraid of walking through the tombs."
He turned and looked into my eyes. "Tombs," He said. He began to cough. The silver bells on his cap jingled.
"My poor friend," I said, "How long if you had that cough."
"That's nothing." He said, but he could not stop coughing.
"Come," I said firmly, "We will go back upstairs. Your health is important. You are rich, respected, admired and loved. You have a wife and children. Many people would miss you if you die. We will go back before you get seriously ill. I can go to Neuqucy for help with the wine."
