Their zealous leader Montaloup immediately has him sentenced to death. A desperate Aline approached an army officer Marc-Arron and he gets a twelve hour [stay of execution](/source/Stay_of_execution) for her husband. She then offers to spend the night with him if he will let her husband escape. He agrees and facilitates Ernest's escape by swapping his own uniform for his prison clothes, but she soon realises he is an honourable man who has no intention of taking advantage of her.
