16. THE MILLER’S TALE
John, a rich old carpenter of Oxford
has a young wife, the eighteen-
year-old Alisoun, whom he guards
carefully, for he is very jealous. He
has a boarder, the clerk
Nicholas, who makes advances to
Alisoun; she quickly agrees and
they determine to consummate the
affair. Absolon, the parish clerk and
village dandy, also lusts for
Alisoun, but he woos her in vain, for
Nicholas is there first.
17. • Nicholas tricks John into thinking that
Noah's flood is coming again; John rigs
up three kneading tubs, in which
he, Nicholas, and Alisoun can float
until the waters recede. When the flood
is due, all three climb up into the tubs.
John goes to sleep, Alisoun and
Nicholas go back to the bedroom.
They are interrupted by Absolon, who
has come to woo Alisoun at the
window. She promises him a kiss and
puts her backside out the window.
Absolon kisses it.
18. He soon realizes his mistake. He gets
a hot coulter (plow blade) from
Gervase, the smith, and returns to
ask for another kiss. Nicholas puts his
backside out, Absolon strikes it with
the red-hot coulter, Nicholas yells for
water; the carpenter awakes and
thinks the flood has come, cuts lose
his tub and falls and breaks his arm.
The neighbors rush in, and all are
convinced old John is mad.]
