summary:
  When the English were masters of France, the Catholic Church pleased them by delivering up the conqueror of England to be burned alive; when the English were driven out of the country and the French were again in control this sentence was reversed and Joan was proven to have been a dutiful child of the Church. In less than two years' time Joan had saved France, after the prayers of the Church and the armies of the nation had failed ignominiously.

  â��Take no care for thy torment,â�� said the Voice; â��thence shalt thou come into Paradise.â�� Moreover, St. Catherine promised that CompiÃ¨gne should be rescued before Martinmas. There were five or six hundred of the best of the English in this castle, under two leaders whom the French call â��Bumusâ�� and â��Glasidas.â�� The name of â��Glasidasâ�� was Glasdaie; we do not know who â��Bumusâ�� was!

  To God thou offeredst this second prayer: That if it were his will and high decree To take away the sceptre from thy race, And from thee to withdraw whate'er thy sires, The monarchs of this kingdom, once possessed, He in his mercy would preserve to thee Three priceless treasures--a contented heart, Thy friend's affection, and thine Agnes' love. Nothing can thee, thou mighty one, withstand, In battle thou art aye invincible.

  Solemnly from the field of battle he rose to his feet; and, unslinging his stony trumpet, carried it, in his dying anguish, to his stony lips--sounding once, and yet once again; proclamation that, in _thy_ ears, oh baby! spoke from the battlements of death. But, really, as the name was so exceedingly common, few people will detect a mystery in calling a _boy_ by the name of Jack, though it _does_ seem mysterious to call a girl Jack.

  In telling, however briefly, the story of Joan the Maid, it is necessary to call back that day, in some ways so like our own; to see what was the soil from which that flower sprang in all its radiant purity. The young Duchess was Joan of Orleans, daughter of the captive poet-duke: it was her own city that this wondrous Maid was come to save.

  I made it my task to see her safely home; and as we went, I asked: Was it an offence to you, fair Maid, that he should thus seek to test and try you? Not an offence to me, Seigneur, she answered gently, but he should not have had need to do it. Before the season now beginning so tardily has reached its height, the Dauphin will be the anointed King of France, the English will have suffered defeat and Orleans will be free! Heaven send you speak sooth, fair Maid, answered the rugged old soldier, as he eyed the slim figure before him with something of mingled doubt, wonder, and reverence in his eyes.

summary:
  With her mind upon the chaste motives that had decided her to assume male attire so long as her divine mission compelled her to live in camps near soldiers; remembering also with what zeal priests had admitted her to communion when, clad in her martial outfit, she came to thank God for having granted her victory, Joan Darc asks herself by what mental aberration another set of priests of Christ can see in her a blasphemer and an idolatress after the fashion of the gentiles! CANON MAURICE (reads)--'Sixthly: Joan, you said that often you caused the divine names of Jesus and Mary to be placed at the head of the letters, which you addressed to captains and others, and that afterwards, at the bottom of the said letters, you drew the revered sign of the cross. Joan Darc smiles disdainfully at hearing these ecclesiastics condemn her for having endeavored to escape her enemies who sold her for ten thousand gold sous to the English. CANON MAURICE (reads)--'Ninthly: Joan, you said your saints promised paradise to you if you preserved your virginity and devoted yourself to God, and that you were as certain of paradise as if you were now in the enjoyment of the bliss of the blessed.

summary:
  There was the one-armed soldier, who showed his stump very piteously when it was a question of begging from a burgess, but was as well furnished with limbs as other men when no burgess was in sight. Some confessors there be who laugh within their hearts at these sorrows of lovers, as if they were mere nugae and featherweights: others there are who wax impatient, holding all love for sin in some degree, and forgetting that Monseigneur St. Peter himself was a married man, and doubtless had his own share of trouble and amorous annoy when he was winning the lady his wife, even as other men.

  At last Jeanne would seem to have wrought herself up to the most desperate of expedients. On the 23d of May Jeanne was taken back to her prison attended by the officer of the court, Massieu, her frame still thrilling, her heart still high, with that great note of constancy yet defiance.

  Accordingly he sent Martin, under the escort of a lieutenant of _gendarmerie_, to the Ministre de la Police Générale. _Je laisse cent sols de deniers A ceulx qui boivent voluntiers Et s'ay laissié a mon curé Ma pucelle quand je mourrai,_ says Eustache Deschamps (quoted by La Curne); Du Cange cites a will of 1274: afterwards I leave to Laurence _ma pucelle_ and twelve _livres_ of Paris.
