See thou mine own coin-purse? It hath upon it written "Foul Oedipus."

JULES presses his knife to BRETT's throat

Amazing 1930s propaganda.

And so while the pilgrims were
At Canterbury, well lodged one and all,
I don't know what to call it,
Luck or Fortune -- in the end
That led me to enter into that town
