Joan Darc—"It was of white satin." (She drops her head sadly at the recollection of the past glories of her banner, that was so terrible a device to the English, whose prisoner she now is. She smothers a sob.)
Bishop Cauchon—"What figures were painted on it?"
Joan Darc—"Two angels holding a lily stalk. Two symbols; God and the King."
These words are likewise noted down with great zest by the members of the tribunal.
A Judge—"Was your standard frequently renewed?"
Joan Darc—"It was renewed as often as its staff was broken in battle. That happened frequently."
Another Judge—"Did not some of those who followed you have standards made similar to yours?"
Joan Darc—"Some did; others did not."
The Same Judge—"Were those who bore a standard similar to yours lucky in war? Did they rout the English?"
Joan Darc—"Yes, if they were brave, they then triumphed over the English."
