Guillaume Aymerie put to her this question: "You assert that a voice told you, God willed to deliver the people of France from the calamity in which they now are. But if God wills to deliver them, it is not necessary to have soldiers." "In God’s name!" Jeanne replied, "the soldiers will fight, and God will give the victory." With which answer Maître Guillaume was pleased.

I, in my turn, asked Jeanne what dialect the voice spoke? "A better one than yours," she replied. I speak the Limousin dialect. "Do you believe in God?" I asked her. "In truth, more than yourself!" she answered.
