• The Miller's portrait is the eighteenth in the General Prologue.
• After the Knight's tale, the Miller interrupts the Host's proposed order of tale-tellers by demanding to go before the Monk.
• The Miller is the second to tell his tale, after the Knight and before the Reeve.
• With his tale, the Miller insults the Reeve, who then constructs a tale for the express purpose of "quiting" the Miller's tale.
