revelations which comforted her daily.  She was then asked what she had done with her mandragora (mandrake)? she answered that she had no mandragora, nor had ever had.  She had heard say that near her village there was one, but had never seen it.  She had heard say that it was a dangerous thing, and that it was wicked to keep it; but knew nothing of its use.  Asked, in what place this mandrake was, and what she had heard of it? she said that she had heard that it grew under the tree of which mention has been made, but did not know the place; she said also that she had heard that above the mandragora was a hazel tree.  Asked, what she heard was done with the mandragora, answered, that she had heard that it brought money, but did not believe it; and added that her voices had never told her anything about it.

Asked, what was the appearance of St. Michael when she saw him first, she answered, that she saw no crown, and knew nothing of his dress.  Asked, if he was naked, she answered, “Do you think God has nothing to clothe him with?” Asked, if he had hair, she answered, “Why should it have been cut?” She said further that she had not seen the blessed Michael since she left the castle of Crotoy, nor did she see him often.  At last she said that she knew not whether he had hair or not.  Asked, whether he carried scales, she answered, “I know nothing of it,” but added that she had much joy in seeing him, and she knew when she saw him that she was not in a state of sin.  She also said that St. Catherine and St. Margaret often made her confess to them, and said that if she had been in a state of sin it was without knowing it.  She was then asked whether, when she confessed, she believed herself to be in a state of mortal sin; she answered, that she knew not whether she had been in that state, but did not believe she had done the works of sin.  “It would not have pleased God,” she said, “that I should have been so; nor would it have pleased Him that I should have done the works of sin by which my soul should have been burdened.”

She was then asked what sign she gave to the King that she came to him from God; she answered:  “I have told you always that nothing should draw this from me.(7) Ask me no more.”  Asked, if she had not sworn to reveal what was asked of her touching the trial, answered, “I have told you that I will tell you nothing that was for our King; and of this which belongs to him I will not speak.”  Asked, if she knew the sign which she gave to the King, she answered:  “You shall know nothing from me.”  When it was said to her that this did concern the trial, she answered, “Of that which I have promised to keep secret I shall tell you nothing”; and further she said, “I promised in that place and I could not tell you without perjuring myself.”  Asked, to whom she promised? answered, that she had promised to Saints Catherine and Margaret, and this was shown to the King.  She also said she had promised it to these two saints,
