Bishop Cauchon (lets his eyes travel triumphantly over the tribunal; his gesture is understood; a momentary silence ensues; then to the registrars)—"Have you taken down textually the prisoner's answer?"

A Registrar—"Yes, monseigneur."

A Judge—"And in France, Joan, did you there also hear those voices?"

Joan Darc—"Yes, sir."

Another Judge—"Whence do you suppose came those voices?"

Joan Darc (with an accent of profound conviction)—"The voices came from God."

Another Judge—"What do you know about that?"

Another Judge—"What were the circumstances under which you were captured at Compiegne?"

Another Judge—"Who dictated the letter that you addressed to the English?"
