"I think you should stay till mother tells is to go," for she wanted to hear what more her mother and the gentleman said to each other, the very thing that made Beata uncomfortable. Beata looked a little frightened. "I didn't mean to be rude," she said. Then suddenly catching sight of Manchon, she exclaimed, "Oh, what a beautiful cat! May I go and stroke him?"
Manchon also came running, and barking before her; and when his young mistress alighted, fawned, and played round her, gasping with joy. 'Dear ma'amselle! said Theresa, and paused, and looked as if she would have offered something of condolement to Emily, whose tears now prevented reply. The dog still fawned and ran round her, and then flew towards the carriage, with a short quick bark.
It seemed to Cauchon a good time to furnish it. So he called together some of his doctors of theology and went to her dungeon. Manchon and I went along to keep the record that is, to set down what might be useful to Cauchon, and leave out the rest. The sight of Joan gave me a shock. Why, she was but a shadow!
"Cats don't understand what one means." "Manchon does," said Rosy. "Come away, Bee, do. Quick, quick. We'd better go in to breakfast." The two little girls ran off, but Colin stayed behind at the library window. "I've been talking to Manchon," he said when he came up to them.
The other Recorder who helped Manchon to draw up the minutes of the trial was also examined; this was William Colles, called Boisguillaume. He was in his sixty-sixth year.
These were Jean de la Fontaine, a lawyer learned in canon law; Jean Beaupere, already her interrogator; Nicolas Midi, a Doctor in Theology; Pierre Morice, Canon of Rouen and Ambassador from the English King to the Council of Bale; Thomas de Courcelles, the learned and excellent young Doctor already described; Nicolas l'Oyseleur, the traitor, also already sufficiently referred to; and Manchon, the honest Clerk of the court: the names of Gerard Feuillet, also a distinguished man, and Jean Fecardo, an advocate, are likewise also mentioned.
Late at night, when Manchon came in, he said: "I am come from the dungeon, and I have a message for you from that poor child." A message to me!
Twenty-five years after Joan's death the record was produced in the great Court of the Rehabilitation and verified under oath by Manchon and me, and surviving judges of our court confirmed the exactness of the record in their testimony. Joan' startling utterance on that now so celebrated first of March stirred up a great turmoil, and it was some time before it quieted down again.
We next come to the witness whose evidence is, next to that of Dunois, of the greatest importance; it is that of the Recorder, or judges' clerk, William Manchon. Born in 1395, he was sixty-one years of age when the rehabilitation trial took place. Manchon's evidence takes up thirty pages in M. Fabre's work, already often referred to Le Procès de Réhabilitation de Jeanne d'Arc.
"Mamma said I wasn't to stay very long," she said; "but don't you mind being alone so much?" "No, I don't think so," said Bee, "and, you know, Phoebe is in the next room if I want her." "I know what you'd like," said Rosy, and off she flew. In two minutes she was back again with something in her arms. It was Manchon! She laid him gently down at the foot of Bee's bed.
