Bishop Cauchon (is the first to recover, he addresses Joan with severity)—"You answer us like an idolater. You are exposing your body and your soul to a grave peril."
Joan Darc—"I could not answer otherwise, monseigneur."
A Judge (harshly)—"You will then have to die an apostate."
Joan Darc (with touching pride)—"I received baptism; I am a good Christian; I shall die a Christian."
Bishop Cauchon—"Do you desire to receive the body of the Savior?"
Joan Darc—"Oh, I wish it with all my soul!"
Bishop Cauchon—"You will then have to submit to the Church militant."
Joan Darc—"I serve God to the best of my ability—from Him I expect everything—nothing from the bishops, nothing from the priests, nothing from anybody."
The Inquisitor—"If you refuse submission to the holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church you will be given up for a heretic, and condemned to be burned."
Joan Darc (in a high degree of exaltation springing from her convictions and the disgust that the ecclesiastics inspire her)—"Even if the pyre stood ready I would answer no otherwise!"
