Saint Joan pdf free download. A fine spring morning on the river Meuse, between Lorraine and Champagne, in the
year 1429 A.D., in the castle of Vaucouleurs.
Captain Robert de Baudricourt, a military squire, handsome and physically energetic,
but with no will of his own, is disguising that defect in his usual fashion by storming
terribly at his steward, a trodden worm, scanty of flesh, scanty of hair, who might be
any age from 18 to 55, being the sort of man whom age cannot wither because he has
never bloomed.
The two are in a sunny stone chamber on the first floor of the castle. At a plain strong
oak table, seated in chair to match, the captain presents his left profile. The steward
stands facing him at the other side of the table, if so deprecatory a stance as his can
be called standing. The mullioned thirteenth-century window is open behind him.
Near it in the corner is a turret with a narrow arched doorway leading to a winding
stair which descends to the courtyard. There is a stout fourlegged stool under the
table, and a wooden chest under the window.
