When the last court of the second trial ended Joan was sent back to her cell. There she contracted the fever. The judges didn't want her to die so they called in physicians to cure her. She was cured, but the next day she was ill again. This time she was ill for two weeks when the head judge thought she was well enough to continue the trial.
Meanwhile, the judges were busy at work writing up a list of lies, of which to convict Joan. The head judge was planning to have a third trial and he was going to use the list of lies to somehow trick Joan. He narrowed the judges down to a very few for this trial so he had the very meanest on his side. The list was a very long one and took two days to read. Her friends thought they were reading the whole thing to her in the hopes that she would die of fatigue, but she didn't and she answered every question well, winning the third trial.
