Brief Summary Of 'The Cask Of Amontillado'

“There is more to tell and the story gets better. The money had been in a bank in Luxembourg in a blind account. Picca Pythonzi had been given the money by Filippo, and he asked Ignacio to use it for a good cause. Ignacio told him he knew exactly where to put it.”
“Frank I can’t believe what I am hearing. Where is the money now?” “Ignacio has it in a bank in New Orleans, and the bank didn’t ask any questions.” The original paintings displayed on the walls of the restaurant now had more meaning. They became more lustrous and beautiful and they helped Jullia understand better what Frank had just said, but she still had more questions. One of them was “What happened to Filippo?”
