Solution
Joan respectfully greeted the Squire and requested him to give her a horse, armour and some soldiers, so that she could go and see the Dauphin. On hearing that, Captain Robert got angry and threatened to send her back to her father, but Joan kept trying. She reminded the Squire that he had initially refused to meet with her and yet she was there, standing before him. Captain Robert asked Joan whether she had the belief that he would give her what she wanted just because he had agreed to meet with her. Joan replied positively and went on to explain to the Squire that although a horse would cost a lot, she could save some money on the armour. She would find a soldier’s armour that would fit her well enough. She also told him that she would not need many soldiers from him and that the Dauphin would give her as many soldiers as she needed to free Orleans. Captain Robert exclaimed in surprise on hearing that Joan wanted to free Orleans. She then told the Squire that she would only need three men to go with her, as Polly and Jack had already promised to go with her.
