When was the last time anybody helped you?
The pardoner is the last pilgrim to be portrayed in the prologue. His estate belongs to the court of Rome. This gentle pardoner is thought to be worthy of respect; "He had a scholarly look" and "He was an honest person." Nevertheless, his pretension not to care for riches and his being "an unethical man" oppose the positive idea created. The inference that can be made from the excerpt is that he was an unethical man.
"Politeness is half good manners and half good lying" because when someone asks you how you are, you politely reply 'I'm doing good/well' even if your not - a lie. :)
