Harcourt asked her if her Voices, or 'counsel' (as she called it) gave this advice. She blushed and said: 'I know what you mean, and will tell you gladly.' The king asked her if she wished to speak before so many people. Yes, she would speak. When they doubted her she prayed, 'and then she heard a Voice saying to her: '"_Fille De, va, va, va, je serai a ton aide, va!_"'[17] 'And when she heard this Voice she was right glad, and wished that she could always be as she was then; and as she spoke,' says Dunois, 'she rejoiced strangely, lifting her eyes to heaven.' And still she repeated: 'I will last for only one year, or little more; use me while you may.' Joan stirred the politicians at last. They would go to Reims, but could they leave behind them English garrisons in Jargeau, where Suffolk commanded, in Meun, where Talbot was, and in other strong places? Already, without Joan, the French had attacked Jargeau, after the rescue of Orleans, and had failed. Joan agreed to assail Jargeau. Her army was led by the 'fair duke,' d'Alencon. He had but lately come from prison in England, and his young wife was afraid to let him go to war. 'Madame,' said Joan, 'I will bring him back safe, and even better than he is now.' We shall see how she saved his life. It was now that Guy and Andre de Laval saw her, and wrote the description of her black horse and white armour. They followed with her gladly, believing that with her glory was to be won. Let us tell what followed in the words of the Duc d'Alencon. [Illustration: 'Now arose a dispute among the captains']
