The narrator is suggesting that the Pardoner from Chaucer's "The Pardoner's Tale" could have been a eunuch or a female horse, highlighting the Pardoner's effeminate or emasculated characteristics. This comment underscores the Pardoner's ambiguity and deceitfulness.

MY horse is pacing back and forth in her pen and when she almost calms down my gelding will put his ears back and drive her to pace again what does this mean?
