Answer 2

Answer:

The Second Nun was the secretary of the prioress in the Canterbury tales.

Her tale associates with pilgrimage as she joins the position of secretary of the prioress.

Explanation:

• The major duties of the Second Nun as the chaperone of the prioris included reading manuscripts and exchanging letters.
• The Second Nun was well-versed in Latin and used to transcribe it.
• The Second Nun tells her tale as the Saint Cecilia In The Canterbury tales.

Hence, Madame Eglantine, or the Prioress had a secretary named as the Second Nun.
