उत्तर
Captain Robert Squire was uncertain about allowing Joan to go to the Dauphin. He could not believe Joan would succeed in her mission. Even then, he could not withstand her determination and confidence; he also felt that this was the last chance to save Orleans and that there was something special about Joan. However, he did not want to be held responsible for anything; hence, he said, “I wash my hands off it.”
