The chapter opens with a conversation between Miss Jessel and Madame Bovary, who are in the middle of a dinner party. The conversation is interrupted by the arrival of a servant, who introduces himself as Mr. Moustachio. The servant explains that he is an assistant to the general manager of the club, and that he will be returning soon. The general manager tells him that the club has been in operation for a year, but that it has not yet been officially launched. He says that the empire group will officially launch the club on Monday, and the guest will be able to visit the club to check out the requirements of the project. He also tells the servant that he has discovered some jewelry that he can sell, but he cannot because the pieces are not his own. He then asks Madame Bostelman to fill out the admission form for the school, and she agrees to do so on the following day. Madame Boleyn then asks Miss Jessell to get her car, which she has been waiting for, and to call her second and third husbands to come over for dinner. The servants, however, do not wish to attend the dinner party, because they are scheduled to meet with Mr. Jukniene at 2 p.m.
