The line "And I bet I never shall" said by Herbert White gives a hint that something bad will be going to happen in the future. The sentence is an example of foreshadowing where the event which would going to happen in the future are hinted priorly.

Explanation:

The first wish that the family wished from the Monkey's paw was to get a sum of two hundred pounds. By that money, they could repay the debts of the house. After wishing, the very next day Herbert goes out to work where he meets with a machine accident. The family receives a sum of two hundred pounds as compensatory money from the company. The line said by Herbert "And I bet I never shall" is the evidence that the money which the family would receive as a wish from the monkey's paw would never be seen by him. This was an indication that Herbert would be no longer alive to witness the sum of the money.

In the short story, "The Cask of Amontillado," the reader is never told what the exact insult was that caused Montresor to seek

azamat

This is what happens before the story begins in "The Cask of Amontillado", according to my imagination:

Fortunato had always been an arrogant man who loved to laugh at his friends' imperfections or mistakes in general. When Montresor first met him, he was amazed at how clever and generous that man seemed to be. However, such an impression quickly died out: Fortunato turned out to be a rude, unkind, bitter man. That was a huge disappointment for Montresor, who really treasured his friend, at least in the beginning of their friendship.

One day, the two friends were having a casual conversation, when suddenly Fortunato turned to Montresor and said to him: "I'm sure I'm better than you at anything; that's why you were so jealous whenever I came around that girl you fancied..." Montresor was shocked to hear that, to which he replied right away: "Jealous? What are you talking about?" Fortunato had a cynical smile on his face, and said next: "So you think I didn't notice how insecure you felt... Maybe you were afraid she would fall in love with me, not with you..." After hearing that, Montresor was oppressed with anger, and couldn't say a word since if he did so, he would probably burst out in tears of uncontrollable rage.

After having spent the following night in a state of agitated insomnia, Montresor had an idea: inviting Fortunato to go taste some wine in a place where no one would bother them and that would also be suitable for a sweet and irreversible revenge.
