d. "the cough's a mere nothing; it will not kill me. I shall not die of a cough." In the passage, Montressor is leading Fortunato into the catacombs to his death.

Montresor decoys Fortunato into the catacombs with a cask of amontillado, and then he follows the story burning him alive.  We clearly see how this is a gruesome story, and how this phrases above contribuites to make it one....
