The scene opens with a sweet bite from Madame Bovary's lips. She is overcome with gratitude at the sight of her beloved. She tells the audience that she will always be with them, and that her wounds are healing. She says that she is the last one to be hurt by a silver dagger, and she looks like her brother has not told her about her. She asks the audience if she has become something like her, and if she still does not want to stop. She reminds the audience of the fact that she has been spying on the family for a long time, but she says that her brother is still being careless in not telling her about it. He says that today is going to be the end of the family, and he is giving the first gift to the Senate. He tells the crowd that he is leaving a portion of his man to defend the family's house, and says that he will leave roy to protect the house.
