Laffemas: Then he dies!
Marion: And if he lives, I lose him. (A long silence.)
He shall live.
[She goes into the castle with Laffemas. Didier and Saverny appear, guarded by the jailer and his men. It is now night.
The Jailer (in a whisper to Saverny): You can
escape. The Marquis of Nangis
Has made all preparations for the flight.
Saverny: For both of us?
The Jailer: No; only you. And that
May cost me my own life.
Saverny: Well, save my friend.
The Jailer: I cannot.
Saverny: Then I must remain with him.
(To Didier) They will hang us, friend, to-night.
