"I suppose," I said, "that you have some books of your own?" "Here they are," she said, depositing an armful on the table. Her poor little library consisted of bibelots indeed, a history of Jeanne d'Arc for children, and half a dozen other works, mostly school prizes of the kind awarded before school prizes in France were worth the paper on which they were printed.
"No, monsieur, it appears that his interest was historical. At first I should not have taken him for a man of learning, yet he gave me a great piece of information; a thing quite new to me, though I have lived here so many years. We are distinguished in history, it seems, and at one time both William the Conqueror and that brave Jeanne d'Arc "
So Jimmy, aided now and then by Agatha, delivered a Straker-ized version of the wreck and the arrival at Ilion. "But before that," questioned the manager. "How did you happen to be on the Jeanne D'Arc?" For the first time James hesitated. Not even Agatha knew that part of the story. "I was picked up by the Jeanne D'Arc in New York harbor," he replied slowly. Mr. Straker frowned. "How picked up?"
To me, also, has the Lord now sent a Joan d'Arc, a maid of Brunen. With her help I will overcome all my enemies." The preparations were completed; the room of the king had become, by means of his inventive genius, a magnificent throne saloon. The great arm-chair, draped with rich hangings, looked almost imposing; the dirty floor was concealed by a costly Turkish carpet.
Formal accusation was made under twelve heads or articles, based on the preliminary examination, and the trial proceeded to its merciless end. In Passion Week, Jeanne d'Arc fell sick. Her temptation began, no doubt, on Palm Sunday.
Louis, and Jeanne d'Arc, by Bonnat, Blanc, Levy, Cabanel and Lenepveu, are all excellent work of the kind so familiar to visitors to the Salon at Paris, but lacking in harmony and in inspiration. The angel appearing to Jeanne d'Arc seems to have been modelled from a figurante at the opera.
"Surely," he said. "But now, my dear son Pierre, I must prepare you " The struggling voice from the cot broke in, whispering slowly, with long intervals: "Not necessary. . . . I know it already. . . . The penance. . . . France. . . . Jeanne d'Arc. . . . It is done." A few drops of blood gushed from the corner of his mouth.
The only clear idea that I can have of this last edifice is from the decorations of the Jeanne d'Arc of Schiller, played at Berlin. The opera-scene painters showed me on the banks of the Spree, what the opera-scene painters on the banks of the Vesle hide from me.
But throughout his life he halted a little between two opinions the current admiration of the classic, and his own instinctive feeling for nature unsystematized and unsophisticated. His "Jeanne d'Arc" is an instance. In spite of the violation of tradition, which at the time it was thought to be, it seems to-day to our eyes to err on the side of the conventional.
A merry peal of laughter greeted my words. "It was too bad; you were very harsh," said Louise, soberly. "I could not help it; she was an ugly, awkward thing," said Louison. "I could have pulled her nose'" "And it seems you called her a geante also," I said. "She was quite offended." "It was a compliment," said the girl. "She was an Amazon like the count's statue of Jeanne d'Arc."
