One day Jeanne's equerry, Jean d'Aulon, asked her what her Council was, just as my Lord d'Harcourt had done. She replied that she had three councillors, one of whom was always with her. Another was constantly going and coming; the third was the one with whom the other two deliberated. Sire d'Aulon, more curious than the King, besought and requested her to let him see this Council for once. She replied: "Your virtues are not great enough and you are not worthy to behold it."[1170] [Footnote 1170: _Trial_, vol. iii, pp. 219, 220.] The good squire never asked again. If he had read the Bible he would have known that Elisha's servant did not see the angels beheld by the prophet (2 Kings VI, 16, 17). And yet Jeanne imagined that her Council had appeared to the King and his court. "My King," she said later, "my King and many besides saw and heard the Voices that came to me. The Count of Clermont and two or three others were with him."[1171] [Footnote 1171: _Ibid._, vol. i, p. 57.] She believed it was so. But in reality she never showed her Voices to anyone. Not even, despite what has been said to the contrary, to that Guy de Cailly who had been following her since Checy.[1172] [Footnote 1172: _Ibid._, vol. v, p. 342. Guy de Cailly's patent of nobility cannot be regarded as authentic. Vallet de Viriville, _Petit traite...._ p. 92.] With Brother Pasquerel Jeanne engaged in pious conversation. To him she often expressed the desire that the Church after her death should pray for her and for all the French slain in the war. "If I were to depart from this world," she used to say to him, "I should like the King to build chantries, where prayers should be offered to Messire for the salvation of the souls of those who died in war or for the defence of the realm."[1173] [Footnote 1173: _Trial_, vol. iii, p. 112.] Such a wish was common to all devout souls. What Christian in those days did not hold the practice of saying masses for the dead to be good and salutary? Thus, in the matter of devotion, the Maid was in accord with Duke Charles of Orleans, who, in one of his complaints, recommends the saying and singing of masses for the souls of those who had suffered violent death in the service of the realm.[1174] [Footnote 1174: _Trial_, vol. iii, p. 112. _Poesies de Charles d'Orleans_, ed. A. Champollion-Figeac, p. 174.] She said one day to the good brother: "There is succour that I am appointed to bring." And Pasquerel, albeit he had studied the Bible, cried out in amazement: "Such a history as yours there hath never been before in the world. Nought like unto it can be read in any book." Jeanne answered him even more boldly than the doctors at Poitiers: "Messire has a book in which no clerk, however perfect his learning, has ever read."[1175] [Footnote 1175: _Trial_, vol. iii, pp. 108, 109.] She had received her mission from God alone, and she read in a book sealed against all the doctors of the Church.
