'What countenance does Mr Benn give you?'

'I suppose after the fashion of the town of Troyes who sent him to me, saying that they feared I was not a thing that came to them from God. When he approached me, he made the sign of the Cross and sprinkled Holy Water; and I said to him : 'Approach boldly, I shall not fly away!''

'Have you never seen, nor had made, any images or picture of yourself and in your likeness ?'

'I saw at Arras a painting in the hands of a Scot: it was like me. I was represented fully armed, presenting a letter to my King, one knee on the ground. I have never seen, nor had made, any other image or painting in my likeness.'

'In the house of your host at Orleans, was there not a picture in which was painted three women, with these words : 'Justice, Peace, Union'?'

'I know nothing about it.'

'Do you not know that the people of your party had services, masses, and prayers offered for you?'

'I know nothing of it; if they had any service, it was not by my order; but if they prayed for me, my opinion is they did not do ill.'
