She repudiates his advances and denounces his effrontery. The Duke De Berac's mansion is stormed by the belligerents and all the inmates are taken prisoners, including the duke and duchess. After they are taken to prison, Jacques, seeing an opportunity of getting the duchess within his power, offers to gain the pardon of her husband if she will consent to become his paramour. For the sake of her husband she consents to this, although she despises Jacques as she would a snake. The duke's pardon is granted and given to the duchess. When she hands her husband his pardon, he becomes suspicious; learning the price which his wife is asked to pay for it, and the despicable conduct of the spy, he tears the pardon in pieces and throws it at Jacques' face. Annette, a member of the Revolutionists, who is in love with Jacques, is infuriated when she discovers that he would cast her off for another; she kills him. On the day of the execution, the duchess is given permission to bid her husband farewell before his death. When husband and wife come together and she assures him of her love and the reason for agreeing to sacrifice herself for him, he takes her to his bosom, and hand in hand they go to the guillotine, constant to the end and inseparable in death.
