Answer 1

The quote reveals that Montresor does not trust his servants and knows they will disobey his orders as soon as he leaves. This suggests a strained or manipulative relationship between Montresor and his servants, as he believes they will act against his wishes once he is not present. It also suggests that Montresor is trying to manipulate the situation to his advantage, possibly to carry out his sinister plans without interference from his servants.
