THE AFTERNOON OF THE SAME
DAY, IN PRISON





  
Asked what part of St. Catherine she had touched

she answered: “You will get no answer from me”

Asked if she ever kissed or touched

St. Catherine or St. Margaret

she answered she had touched them both

Asked if they had a fine odor    she answered

it is well known that they had

Asked whether              when embracing them

she felt heat or anything else

she answered that she could not embrace them

without feeling and touching them
