The narrator says he has permitted a "thousand injuries" from Fortunato, but as the story develops, the reader wonders if those are all in his head. When the narrator meets Fortunato at the carnival, Fortunato is nothing but pleasant and helpful. All the time he is with Montresor he suspects nothing evil at all. The complete absence of animosity and fear of Montresor is hardly consistent with someone who has committed a thousand injuries against that person.
