First of all, which word is underlined. After I know which one is underlined, I can fully answer yous question.
I would say that "constant cry" and "Chesterton's cat" are the obvious ones. However "echoed in our ears" is a pretty subtle one that you can definitely make a solid argument for.
The character that proposes the story telling competition that frames the remainder of the Canterbury tales is : Bailey
After creating the competition, Bailey quickly appoint himself as the judge for that competition
hope this helps
