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.

Curator qualifications: Ch. VII scope correctly limited (Thackeray panorama); counts reproduce.
