The scene opens with a description of the scented sachet that Guppy has brought with him. Guppy tells the audience that he brought it because he wanted to know what Guppy's reaction was when he saw the bruise on the prince's body. He asks Guppy if he is hungry, and Guppy replies that he is not hungry, but that he has a whip, wax oil, and a scent from the sachet that he wants to play with. He then tells Guppy that he cannot stay in the room any longer, and asks him to take him to another part of the room where he can play with Guppy. He tells him that the scent of the sachet is "not fun" and that he must leave immediately
