Un po' di Poe

My father will have to correct me if these memories are wrong, but I recall my introductions to Poe such.

When I was 11, maybe 12, my father gave my brother and me a pop quiz to test our general knowledge on subjects possibly not covered in our Swiss education. Question 14 was "What quoth the raven?" And I learnt that "quoth" is a word.

In a separate memory, a storm had caused a brief blackout - this would happen occasionally. So we were using candles and the fire place. So my father decided to tell us ghost stories, and this was my introduction to The Cask of Amontillado. However I remember The Black Cat in a similar setting, so I may be confusing two memories, or just remember the wrong Poe tale.
