'What do you ask of it?' inquired Beaupère.
'I have never,' answered Joan, 'asked for any recompense, except the salvation of my soul.'
'Did the voice always encourage you to follow the army?'
'The voice told me to remain at Saint Denis. I wished to remain, but against my will the knights obliged me to leave. I would have remained had I had my free-will.'
'When were you wounded?' asked Beaupère.
'I was wounded,' Joan answered, 'in the moat before Paris, having gone there from Saint Denis. At the end of five days I recovered.'
'What did you attempt to do against Paris?'
Joan answered that she had made one skirmish (escarmouche) in front of Paris.
'Was it on a feast day?' asked the priest.
'It was,' replied Joan. And on being asked if she considered it right to make an attack on such a day, she refused to answer.
