CHAPTER XII
THE TRIAL FOR LAPSE (continued)
N Monday, the 12th of March, Brother Jean Lemaistre received from Brother Jean Graverent, Inquisitor of France, an order to proceed against and to pronounce the final sentence on a certain woman, named Jeanne, commonly called the Maid.[743] On that same day, in the morning, Maître Jean de la Fontaine, in presence of the Bishop, for the second time examined Jeanne in her prison.[744]
He first returned to the sign. "Did not the angel who brought the sign speak?"
"Yes, he told my King that he must set me to work in order that the country might soon be relieved."
