| | Medieval Sourcebook: Sieur Louis de Conte: Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc [Fiction/Mark Twain] |
 | | The work wrought by Joan of Arc may fairly be regarded as ranking with any in history, when one considers the conditions under which it was undertaken, the obstacles in the way, and the means at her disposal. |
 | | It is noticeable that this remark, which implies that Joan was entirely forgetful of her self and her own danger, and had thought and wrought for the preservation of other people alone, was not challenged, or criticised, or commented upon by anybody there, but was taken by all as matter of course and true. |
 | | He merely hurt Joans feelings and offended her piety without need, for he had already confessed her before this, and should have known, if he knew anything, that devils cannot abide the confessional, but utter cries of anguish and the most profane and furious cursings whenever they are confronted with that holy office. |
