" Her eyes flitted from his face to the lounge door and back. " Joe! " She folded her arms defiantly, reluctantly. " Joe, you'd better come out. The police are here. "
Which word is in italics?
In the story "The Cask of Amontillado, Montressor had led Fortunato in a family of catacombs. He had led him to a pile of skeletons and chained Fortunato's arm. No one knows what happened to Fortunato at the end. All they know is that Fortunato disappeared, and no one ever saw him again.
