- Rochefort asks if Constance will be killed; Milady tells him to rest easy on that score.
- The two then plot their next moves. Milady asks for Rochefort’s carriage and a servant to collect her the following day.
- She then instructs Rochefort to meet her at a little village called Armentières. He writes the name of the village down in order to remember it. She then asks for all his money, which he hands over.
- The two conspirators are ready to execute their plan.
