A Judge—"Joan, do you swear to tell the whole truth? I await your answer."
Joan Darc (with dignity)—"I have sworn; that is enough. I never lie."
The Same Judge—"Did you in your infancy learn to work like the other girls of the fields?"
Joan Darc—"My mother taught me to sew and to spin, and also the labors of the field."
Another Judge—"Did you have a confessor?"
Joan Darc—"Yes, the curate of our parish is my confessor and spiritual guide."
The Same Judge—"Did you confess your revelations to your curate or to any other man of the church?"
Joan Darc—"No, I said nothing upon that."
The priests exchange meaning glances and a few words in a low voice.
