What does Lubbock's Chapter VII actually treat (it opens from Madame Bovary but turns to Thackeray), and what in it bears on when to move from an author's survey to the characters' direct view?

Chapter VII is mainly about Thackeray's panoramic method, not Madame Bovary: 'Bovary' occurs once (the opening sentence) and 'Emma' not at all in Ch. VII. What bears on the question: Lubbock says Thackeray's characters live in the narrator's vision until the climax, where 'it is time to see her with our own' eyes; the climax then needs a scene, and fails where unprepared. The scene/summary rule itself, and the picture/drama definitions, are in C3-B190-S44 and are not repeated.
