“Do your saints and angels wear jewelry?—crowns, rings, earrings?”
To Joan, questions like these were profane frivolities and not worthy of serious notice; she answered indifferently. But the question brought to her mind another matter, and she turned upon Cauchon and said:
“I had two rings. They have been taken away from me during my captivity. You have one of them. It is the gift of my brother. Give it back to me. If not to me, then I pray that it be given to the Church.”
The judges conceived the idea that maybe these rings were for the working of enchantments.
Perhaps they could be made to do Joan a damage.
“Where is the other ring?”
“The Burgundians have it.”
“Where did you get it?”
“My father and mother gave it to me.”
“Describe it.”
