Which THREE sentences from this excerpt MOST clearly suggest that Montresor (the narrator) is keeping his plans for revenge secret from Fortunato?
It is equally unredressed when the avenger fails to make himself felt as such to him who has done the wrong.
It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will.
I continued, as was my wont, to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my smile now was at the thought of his immolation.
THE thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge.
You, who so well know the nature of my soul, will not suppose, however, that I gave utterance to a threat.

In painting and gemmary, Fortunato, like his countrymen, was a quack—but in the matter of old wines he was sincere.
