“Is it true that you said to Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret: ‘Will God leave these good people of Compiègne to die so horribly’?”
“I did not say ‘so horribly,’ but, ‘How can God leave these good people of Compiègne, who have been, and are, so loyal to their lord, to die?’ After having fallen, I was two or three days without eating.[[76]] By the leap I was so injured that I could neither eat nor drink; and all the time I was consoled by Saint Catherine, who told me to confess, and to beg pardon of God; and without fail, those at Compiègne would have help before Saint Martin’s Day in the winter. Then I began to recover and to eat, and was soon cured.”
“When you made this leap, did you think you would kill yourself?”
“No; but, in leaping, I commended myself to God. I hoped by means of this leap to escape, and to avoid being delivered up to the English.”
“When speech returned to you, did you not blaspheme and curse God and His Saints? This is proved by allegation.”
“I have no memory of having ever blasphemed and cursed God and His Saints, in that place or elsewhere.”
“Will you refer this to the enquiry made or to be made?”
“I refer me to God and not to any other, and to a good confession.”
“Do your Voices ask delay to answer you?”
“Sometimes Saint Catherine answers me, but I fail to understand because of the great disturbance in the prison and the noise made by my guards. When I make a request to Saint Catherine, both my Saints make request to Our Lord; then, by order of Our Lord, they give answer to me.”
