This story’s narrator proclaims that “even in the grave all is not lost.” After he trips over his robe, the narrator of this story incorrectly counts the size of a room as fifty-two plus forty-eight paces. This story begins with the narrator “sick unto death (20[1])with that long agony” as he is sentenced by pale and thin judges. This story ends (20[1])with General (*) Lasalle grabbing the narrator’s arm as the French army enters Toledo and defeats the Inquisition, thus preventing the narrator’s execution by what he describes as a “destroying crescent.” For 10 points, the narrator is bound in a dungeon and subjected to a swinging, descending, hot metal axe in what Edgar Allan Poe story? ■END■
