Chinon

Given her dramatic training and personality, Sister Elaine McMeen couldn’t have left without a reenactment. Here she appears as Joan; my companion Elder Chris Fee (whom you’ll meet textually in a few pages) represents Charles. Elaine’s companion (whose name I’m embarrassed to have lost—please help me) may be the flunky whom Charles dressed up in his own finery, in the hope of deceiving and perhaps escaping la pucelle. Or maybe she’s just watching. The same trio, now posed in the doorway of the Tour du Coudray, where, as the sign says, Saint Joan “resided” seven weeks, until the 20th of April. Not, by all appearances, an accommodation which even the tolerant French would describe as affording le grand confort.
