She was asked if it was true that she had pictures painted of herself in the likeness of a saint.
'When at Arras,' she answered, 'she had seen a portrait of herself, in which she was represented kneeling before the King and presenting him with a letter.'
'But was there not a picture of you,' asked Beaupère, 'in your host's house at Orleans?'
Joan of Arc knew nothing regarding such a picture.
'Did you not know,' was the next question put, 'that your partisans had prayers and masses said in your honour?'
'If they did so,' she answered, 'it was not by my wish; but if they prayed for me,' she added, 'there was no harm in so doing.'
She was then asked what her opinion was regarding the people who kissed her hands and her feet, and even her clothes. She answered that, inasmuch as she could, she prevented them doing so; but she acknowledged that the poor people flocked eagerly around her, and that she gave them all the assistance in her power.
She was next asked if she had not stood sponsor to some children baptized at Rheims.
'Not at Rheims,' she said; but she had for one child at Troyes. She had also stood sponsor for two children at Saint Denis, and she had gladly had the boy christened by the name of Charles in honour of the King, and the girl Joan, as it pleased their mothers.
'Did the women not touch your rings and charms?'
