This Joan refused to answer, and told Beaupère that he might, if he liked, send to Charles and ask him.
'Did you expect the King to see you?' then asked the priest.
Her answer was that the voice had promised her that the King would soon see her after her arrival.
'And why,' asked Beaupère, 'did he receive you?'
'Those on my side,' said Joan, 'knew well that I was sent by God; they have known and acknowledged that voice.'
'Who?' asked Beaupère.
'The King and others,' answered Joan, 'have heard the voices coming to me. Charles of Bourbon also, and two or three others.'
(The Charles of Bourbon was the Count of Clermont.)
'Did you often hear that voice?' asked the priest.
'Not a day passes that I do not hear it,' Joan replied.
