“All the Angels who accompanied him, had they the same appearance?”
“Some resembled him well enough, others not: at least, so far as I saw. Some had wings, others were crowned. In company with them were Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret, who were with the Angel aforesaid, and the other Angels also, right up to the King’s Chamber.”
“How did the Angel leave you?”
“He left me in that little Chapel. I was much vexed at his going; I wept; willingly would I have gone with him—that is to say, my soul.”
“After the departure of the Angel, did you remain happy [or[[71]] were you in great fear?”]
“He did not leave me in either fear or terror; but I was grieved at his going.”
“Is it for any merit of yours that God sent you this Angel?”
“He came for a great purpose: I was in hopes that the King would believe the sign, and that they would cease to argue with me, and would aid the good people of Orleans. The Angel came for the merits of the King and of the good Duke d’Orléans.”[[72]]
“Why to you rather than to another?”
“It has pleased God so to do by a simple maiden, in order to drive back the enemies of the King.”
