They volleyed questions at Joan from all over the house, and sometimes so many were talking at once that she had to ask them to deliver their fire one at a time and not by platoons. The beginning was as usual: "You are once more required to take the oath pure and simple." "I will answer to what is in the proces verbal. When I do more, I will choose the occasion for myself."
Journal du Siège. Procès, iv. 195. As it stands, this authority is thirty years later than the events. This man was Clement de Fauquemberque. When he recorded the relief of Orleans, he drew on the margin of his paper a little fancy sketch of Joan, with long hair, a woman's dress, a sword, and a banner with the monogram of Jesus. This sketch still exists.
"That is not in your proces; yet I will say this much: they told me that the King would become master of his kingdom in spite of his enemies." "And what else?" There was a pause; then she said humbly: "They promised to lead me to Paradise."
The men pooh-poohed the idea of war, and returned to the evening papers and the proces Caillaux, which was the most exciting question of the moment. In the pantry the news was greeted with hilarity, and coachman and gardener declared that they would shoulder their spades and faire la guerre en sabots.
In vain did M. Salgues devote ten years to the defence of the injured family; in vain did M. Merilhou, in an important proces, warmly espouse the cause; the different governments believed themselves incapable of answering these solicitations. Since 1830 the widow again supplicated the Tribune des Chambres.
Jeanne was addressed sternly by Cauchon, in an exhortation which it is sad to think was not in Latin, as it appears in the Proces. She was then required to take the oath on the Scriptures to speak the truth, and to answer all questions addressed to her.
La Torre made a proces verbal of their interview, while Brederode stormed like a madman, and abused the Duchess for a capricious and unreasonable tyrant. He ended by imprisoning La Torre for a day or two, and seizing his papers. By a singular coincidence, these events took place on the 13th, 24th, and 15th of March, the very days of the great Antwerp tumult.
It occurs in the Chronique de la Pucelle, by Cousinot de Montreuil, at that time the king's secretary, and elsewhere. Theod. de Leliis, Procès, ii. 42. Procès, iii. 99. This description is a few weeks later than the start from Blois. This estimate was probably incorrect; 3,500 was more like the actual number. Procès, iii. 100. Procès, iii. pp. 5, 6, 7.

But the times were so bad that one was often compelled to share in much that was against one's inclination, and I knew not but I was doing an innocent thing." Proces criminels des Comtes d'Egmont, etc.. 7. 1. Egmont's defence, Hopper, 94. Strada, 127-130. The entrance of three such influential personages renewed the mirth of the guests, and their festivities soon passed the bounds of moderation.
