Which sentence in this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart” is an example of foreshadowing?Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me.

Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly—very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man’s sleep. It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! Would a madman have been so wise as this? And then, when my head was well in the room, I undid the lantern cautiously—oh, so cautiously—cautiously (for the hinges creaked)—I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye.
