5* FOR seventy years defeat
after defeat had followed
the French arms; until, in the year 1429, France was on the verge of becoming an English province.
6* CHARLES VII, King of
France - deserted by his
most powerful nobles - was opposed by his own cousin the Duke of Burgundy, whose wealth and soldiers were at England's call.
7* PARIS, itself, was in English
hands; and Charles,
the weakling King, ruled a shabby, debt-ridden little court - unhonored and uncrowned.
8* AT this time - when the
soul of France was slowly
dying - there dwelt in the little village of Domremy, a simple peasant girl, the daughter of Jacques d'Arc.
9* HER name was Joan, and
her life that of the sturdy
country maiden as she worked at the hearth or in the pasture.
10* JOAN OF ARC
11* SHE gave her all for
France - and her
reward was martyrdom.
12* JOAN OF ARC is not dead.
She can never die - and in
the war-torn land she loved so well, her Spirit fights today.

SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE

I wonder what queer old
chap carried this sword to battle in the old days!

We want a volunteer to
attempt the destruction of Enemy Trench No. 2 with this bomb.

'till midnight. Think it over - the man who goes will not come back.
17 MEMORY
18
The time has come for
thee to expiate thy sin against me.
19 INTO THE PAST
20 The Shabby Court of Charles,
Rightful King of France.
21
Sire - the butcher hath
refused more partridges until the last are paid for!
22 THE DESERTER.
23
Why should I not desert
when the King, himself, is preparing to flee from France!
24
No sword once drawn
for France - shall be thrown down!
25* FEARING That the People -
Out of Pity - May Rally to
the Standard of a Ragged King, England and Burgundy Employ "The Spider" to Pamper and Amuse Charles - While Their Armies Lay Siege to Orleans.
26
I have come far to pledge
thee my love, Sire, and my purse.
27
Sire - my castle at Chinon
awaits thy Royal Presence.
28 Eric Trent - In Search of
Cattle For the Duke of Burgundy - Raids the Village of Domremy.
29
Flee - the Burgundians
are coming!
30
One of must stay to
parley with them, that the others may seek safety in the woods.
31
Englishman - I pray thee
in the name of God, turn back!
32
What wouldst thou with
me, Englishman?
33
Return to camp with
thy loot: I'll follow thee anon.
34
Now, Englishman, wilt
thou go?
35 Go bid our men return.
36
They daughter, Joan, is
safe: I hid her in the loft while I put them all to rout!
37 When the Daisies
Bloomed.
38
I'll name the daisy for the
sweetest maid I know - and ask it if she loves me.
39 She loves me!
40
Bid thy Englishman
depart - or I will tell them all thou hast concealed an enemy of France!
41
Prepare thyself Joan -
for thou art to save France and the King.
42
What ails thee, Joan -
go about thy work!
43
Knowing That Her Parents Would Defeat Her
Mission, Joan Prepares Secretly
to Obey the Command
of Her "Voices".
44
Uncle Laxart, wilt thou
brave my father's anger - - and take me to the Governor?
45
AT THE CASTLE OF
ROBERT DE BEAUDRICOURT,
THE GOVERNOR
46
My Lord Governor, I
have come to thee - for it is the will of God that thou shouldst send me to the King!
47
If thou comest from God,
show me what answer he would make to this!
48
I am convinced and will
send thee to thy King.
49 Charles, Caught in the "Spider's" Golden Web,
Idles at Chinon.
50
Sire - our soldiers are
deserting to the Burgundian camp, because we cannot clothe or feed them!
51
I regret, Sire, that my
purse cannot stretch to this necessity.
52 The King at Last.
53
I bring thee from the
Governor a peasant wench, who claims she is sent from God to lead thy soldiers.
54
Test this peasant wench:
if she is so clever, let her find thee among the crowd!
55 THE RUSE.
56
Thou art the King -
none other!
57
Gentle Prince, I am Joan
the Maid, sent by God to lead thy army against the English and crown thee King of France!
58* SO Greatly Did the French
Fear the English - that
Eric Trent Marched Almost Unopposed into the Strongest Fortress Outside the Walls of Orleans.
59 Sire, I see - I see - -
60
Give me soldiers, Sire,
before it is too late - for even now the English take the fortress of The Towers!
61
This is black magic, the
girl may have come from the Devil!
62
Question this maid, and
find out if she be from Heaven or Hell!
63 THE HERALD OF ENGLAND
64
Art thou Charles, who
calls himself King of France?
65
Our merciful English
Sovereign - rightful King of France - generously offers thee peace, providing thou wilt relinquish thy claim to the throne. Otherwise, be it known to thee that thy head shall pay for thy folly!
66
Take this answer to thy
master. Tell him if every sword in France were broken - if every man in France were dead - there is still the God of Justice to free us from thy yoke!
67
The English army is at
the gates of Orleans!
68
Men of France - will ye
follow me to battle?
69
If ye will not follow me,
will ye follow the Standard of France?
70
Are the Nobles of France
to follow a peasant wench?
71
Joan of Arc - I create
thee Commander of the Armies of France!
72
Joan of Arc - I'll follow
thee to Victory, or to Hell!

Monk.

Follow this witch, and
let me hear from thee concerning her.

Standard.

depart from Orleans - or she will wage such war against ye as has never been known in France!

gates! Help is coming!
84
A strange maiden clad in
armor rides through the gates of Orleans!
85
Let the sheep enter the
shambles - the butcher's work will be easier!
86
Fear not. I bring ye
better help than has ever come to any town or captain - the help of the King of Heaven!
87 Joan Summons the English
to Surrender.
88
This petticoat general bids
us flee from France - lest she carve us with her sword!

Milkmaid of France - get
thee hence, or we'll capture thee and burn thee as a witch!

If aught of harm comes
to the prisoner, Eric Trent, thou shalt answer to me!
102*
AT RHEIMS
THE Traitorous Bishop Cauchon Seeks His King's Destruction to Further His Own Ambition with the English.
103
The King is here for his
crowning. When England hears that we have failed to keep the crown from Charles - - thou wilt lose thy bishopric and I my head!
104
Drink not, Sire - the
wine is poisoned!
105
Only thy Bishop's robes
protect thee - - go thou from our presence, nor show thy face again in France!
106 After Many Victories, Joan Leads Her King
to His Crowning.
107 Long live the King!
108
It is our royal pleasure to
reward thee, Maid - ask what thou wilt!
109
Two things would I ask
of thee, Sire: that the peasants of my village may be forever untaxed - - and freedom for the English prisoner, Eric Trent.
110
My Joan, thy father calls
for thee - thy mother weeps for thee, wilt thou not return?
111
I may not return with
thee, for I shall last but a year - and there is yet much to be done!
112
By the King's command
- the prisoner, Eric Trent, is free!
113
Warrior Maiden - why
hast thou twice saved my life?
114
If I thought thou hast
saved me because thou lovest me - - no power of Saint or Devil should take thee from me!
115
Englishman, there is room
in each heart but for one love - - mine is for France!
116
Englishman - our ways
must lie apart. I go to Compiègne to battle - - go thou thy way and forget me!
117 The Tightening
of the Web.
118
At Orleans, I saw the
people kiss her robe -- and the soldiers whisper that they'll make her Queen!
119
The Maid's a witch -
Sire - a witch!
120* IN the Tent of the Duke
of Burgundy, Before
Compiègne.
121
Our chance has come; for
the Witch - with but a handful of knights - rides secretly to Compiègne.
122
Thou mayest avenge thy
capture, for we have learned where the Witch Maid rides. Go forth with thy men and take her!
123
Command me if thou
wilt to some other duty - but bid me not to capture the Maid!
124
Since thou art turned
coward, Eric Trent, I command thee - in the name of thy English King - to capture Joan the Maid!
125 THE BLACK HORSEMAN
126
Dost thou not see the
Black Horseman? I have not long, Gaspard - - I have not long!
127 DAWN BRINGS ON THE DAY - BIG WITH FATE.
128 The Ashes of Love.
129
For service to thy King
in the capture of this witch, I create thee - from this day forth - Count of Diermont!
130 Thou didst betray me!
131
Rejoice, my Lord! The
Devil hath been cheated - and the Witch Maid captured!
132
Go thou and pray for
her soul!
133 The fire - the fire!
134 "The Gratitude of Kings."
135
For God's sake give me
money to ransom Joan the Maid!
136
Dost think, Sire, to
ransom a witch - who would make herself queen and reign in thy stead!
137
I am done with thy
service -- nor do I longer call thee King!
138*
THE AUCTION BLOCK
A Captive Warrior - Whether
King, Duke or Yeoman -
Was Held for a Fixed Ransom. But Joan the Maid Was Sold to the Highest Bidder.
139
I come with English gold
to ransom Joan the Witch!
140
All this is useless, Sirs,
for my King will ransom me!
141* WITH England Seeking
Her Destruction - and
Cauchon Bent Upon Revenge - Joan Is Brought to Trial for Witchcraft.
142
She's a weaver of spells --
and the people fall down and worship her!
143
Thinkest thou, with this
talk of "Voices", that thou standest in God's grace?
144
If I be not in God's grace
- may He bring me there. If I be - may He keep me there!
145
THE TRAVESTY OF
JUSTICE
JOAN, Without Counsel, so
Baffles Her Tormentors
that Cauchon - Finding it Impossible to Trap Her - Stoops to the Most Contempt- ible Trickery to Gain His End.
146
We would not harm thee,
Joan - - thou hast but to sign this paper to go free!
147
This declares that thou
hast rashly sinned against Holy Church - hast lied concerning thy Saints and Voices - and dost promise to return to the garb of a woman!
148* The Last Move in the
Game.
149
Tonight - thou shalt place
the worst ruffian of thy guard in the cell of Joan the Maid.
150
By morning this wench will
have returned to men's garb. We can then pronounce her a relapsed heretic - and burn her!
151
Thou art a Priest - and
should seek the salvation of this girl rather than her death!
152 The Night Guard.
153
Horses are waiting at the
prison gate - make haste to follow me!
154
I did wrong to deny
what I know to be right, but I signed through fear of the fire!
155
Since thou hast resumed the
garb of a man I declare thee, Joan, to be a relapsed heretic - and as such thou shalt be taken to the public square at daylight - - and burned!
156
The Witch has relapsed -
she will be burned at dawn - the Witch has relapsed!
157 The Long Night.
158
Oh, Lord my God - -
why hast thou forsaken me!
159
Sire - dost thou know
they are burning Joan the Maid!
160
Forgive me - forgive me -
I knew not what I did!
161
Executioner - do thy
duty!
162
My voices were of God
- they have not deceived me!
163
God forgive us - we have
burned a Saint!
164
Report: Enemy Trench
No. 2 - destroyed.
