SYNOPSIS: When I first met Max de Winter, he was brooding bitterly over the death of his beautiful wife, Rebecca, in a sailing se- cident; my own shyness 'and naivete-and my unhidden love for him -made him gay and happy. He asked me to marry him, and we went 10 Manderley. his famous estate. Everything about the great house bore Rebecca's influence, and Mrs Danvers, the house-keeper, seemed parti- entarly to resent may taking Rebecca's place as the mistress of Mander- ley. Surprisingly, she suggested costume for me, for the Manderley Masquerade Ball; but when I appeared in it, Max furiously sent me upstairs to change. Mrs Danvers waited there, smiling, to tell me it was the same costume Rebecca had worn! Suddenly there was commotion outside; a ship had gone ashore, and a diver had discovered Rebecca's sailing boat.

Chapter Five

I stumbled across the beach, looking for Maxim. I found him. in Rebecca's cottage.

When I saw him, he was stand- ing near the strangely blazing fire- place, dishevelled, his evening clothes of the night before stained with sea water. His face seemed blank, yet ravaged with the look of a man who could not bear to see mote. "Maxim" I called. "Maxim -you haven't had any sleep." He turned to me, and with a strange tenseness drew me close."

"You've forgiven me, haven't you?" I said.

"Forgive you? What have I got to forgive you tor?"

"For last night my stupidity about the costume.”

"Oh, that! I was angry with you, wasn'1 17"

"Yes," I whispered. "Oh, Muxim, jenn't we start all over again?” i burst out. "I don't ask that you love me... won't ask impossible things. I be your friend and companion... I'll be happy with that."

He took my face in his hands. "How much do you love me?" he asked, his voice tortured by some- thing I did not know.

"Maxim, must I tell you...?" "I'm afraid it's too late, my dar- ling..." he said slowly, "It's all over now, The thing's happened--- the thing I've dreaded."

"Maxim, what are you trying to tell me?"

"Rebecca has won."

I could only think of his love for her, of how I had lost.

"Her shadow has been between tts n the time," he went on. "She knew that this would hap- pen."

"What are you, saying?" "They sent a diver down. found mother bont "1

"The diver made another dis- covery. He broke one of the ports and looked in. There was a body in there- Rebecca's."

"No, no!" I screamed.

"The woman that was washed_up #1 Edgecombe-that wasn't Re- becca. It was the body of some unknown woman. I identified it, but I know it was not Rebecca. It was all a lie. I knew where Re- becca's body wast Lying on the cabin floor, on the bottom of the

I could not speak, with the hor- ror, the stunning surprise of what he had said. And then I could not resist throwing my arms around him.

"It's not too late!" I sald des- perately. "You're not to say that! i love you more than anything in the world. please, Maxim, kiss me, please. We've got to be what we've never been-Together, close)

How could we be close when I know you were always thinking of Rebecen? How could you ask me to love you when I knew you loved Rebecca still?"

"You thought I loved Rebecca? You thought that? I hated her,"

I could not believe my cars. Then he poured out what was in him. He paced up and down, speaking quietly, reflectively.

They told me I was the lucklest mun on earth when I married her ...she was so lovely, so accora- plished, so amusing. I believed her, completely but I never had a moment's happiness with her... She was Incapable of love, or ten- terness, or decency. I found out about her four days after we were married.

She had struck her head on a plece of ship's Lackle. I remember wondering why she was still smiling...And then I realized she was dend.”

"But you didn't kill her.., it was an accident."

He went on, recounting how he had but her into the cabin of her boat, sailed a safe distance from shore, opened the sen cocks and sunk the boat. "Maxim," I asked, does anyone know of this?"

"No one-except you and me." Frantically, I began to tell him what we must. do, that we must say he made a mistake in identi- fying the body, that Rebecca' was dead, and could not bear witness, He was not listening.

"I told you once that I'd done n very selfish thing In marrying you,” he said, holding my arms very tightly. "You can understand now what, I meant. I've loved you, my. darling-I shall always love you- but I've known all along that Re- becca Would win in the end!"

"No! Not" 1 exelulmed. I clung to him. "She hasn't won! What- ever happens now she hasn't won."

Slowly, surely, as Maxim had 'known, the web of the past drew lighter in the days that followed. Kindly old Colonel Julynn, the Chief Magistrate for the County, performed his duty most respect-

"I kept the bargain—and so did she apparently. But then she be- gan to grow careless. She took a flat in London... began bringing her friends down there. There was a cousin of hers-Favell."

"I know him," I said. "He came here the day you went to London,"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't like to. I thought it would remind you of--Rebecca."

"Remind me!” As if I needed re- minding Favell used to visit her here in this cottage. It went on, until I couldn't stand it any longer. One night 1 come down here to have it out with them. I found her alone- -Favell

"All right," he

"It's gone forever... he said, "that funny, young, lost look that I loved. It won't come back again, I killed that when I fold you about Rebecca. It's gone in a few hours....... You're so much older."

At the Inquest, Mr Tabb, the local bont-builder, painted out that the sen cocks had been opened, and that this could not have been an accident. The coroner called Max- im to the stand,
