.... "more than the parson in a month or two" and singing "an Offertory" the best, reveals his greed and self-indulgence with money (724,730). The first impression of "gentle" and "noble" allow the Pardoner to seem humble and nice, while he is actually his greedy, sleek nature as he sells fake relics (728).
