| Robert: | (To Poulengey) This may all be nonsense, Polly. But the troops might just be inspired by it though nothing that we say seems to put any fire into them. Even the Dauphin might believe it. And if she can put some fight into him, she can put it into anybody. |
| Poulengey: | (Turning to Joan) Now you, listen to me and don't cut in before I have time to think. Your orders are that you are to go to Chinon under the escort of this gentleman and three of his friends. |
| Joan: | (Radiant, clasping her hands) Oh, thank you, squire! |
| Poulengey: | How is she to get into the royal presence? |
| Robert: | I don't know. How did she get into my presence? I will send her to Chinon and she can say I sent her. Then, let come what may. I can do no more. |
| Joan: | And the dress? I may have a soldier's dress, squire? |
| Robert: | Take what you please. I wash my hands off it. |
| Joan: | (Wildly excited by her success) Come, Polly. (She dashes out). |
| Robert: | (Shaking Poulengey's hand) Goodbye, old man, I am taking a big chance. Few other men would have done it. But as you say, there is something about her. |
