The sixteen year old girl in blue doublet and hose tosses back her dark bobbed hair, and an-. swers dangerous questions with law- yer-like precision, carefully avoiding the pitfalls. She is continually inter- # rupted by a rabid English nationalist monk who yelps for her torture. The Inquisitor's answer suggests that it is more painful "on the torture of the mind to lie," but finally de Stogumber has his wish fulfilled; he sees her burnt. Then, and only then, like his fatherland, which he symbolises, he 1 realises his crime. He is overwhelm- ed; he weeps, and sincerely changes his outlook for all future time. The bishops merely recognise that they 1have committed a blunder, in that they have now baptised Joan by _sfire into the goodly company of saints. I have no quarrel with the epilogue,: in which Joan, reappearing in a dream,. asks whether she shall come back to earth. Each potentate in turn cries a thousand times, no. That such an epilogue is unnecessary. I' admit, STEAK? E T'lA-T'S AQ UESTION A T MOST PLA 'ES, BECA USE ONL Y 8PE- CIA LISTS CAN SA Y WHA T COA- STITUTES A GOOD STEAK.
