"It is this," I answered, producing from beneath the folds of my roquelaire a trowel.
"You jest," he exclaimed, recoiling a few paces. "But let us proceed to the Amontillado."

The correct answer is Fortunato does not believe that Montresor is a mason.

The narrator Montresor said that he was a mason and Fortunato doesn't believe him. Fortunato asks him to show signs or anything similar and prove this, yet he still doesn't believe Montresor.
