's heroine "I" dreamland.
Silent night.
The moon, the sky, and the clouds.
The iron gate leading to Mandeley Road was closed.
"I" (voiceover): "Last night, I went back to Manderley in a dream I paused as if standing in front of the iron gate, past the iron gate can not block the road was cut off..,"
Shot to the road Push forward and stop in front of the iron gate.
"I" (voice-over): "Like all dreamers, I suddenly had a magical power, passing through the obstacles in front of me like an elf." The
camera advances and penetrates through the fence of the iron gate. According to the road, the old road was covered with weeds on both sides.
"I" (voice-over): "The road winds and unfolds in front of me, and it is still the same. However, when I go further, I find that it is no longer the scene of the past. This is formed by nature according to its own wishes." The
road is winding. Leading to the distance zigzags and turns, the big tree casts shadows on the road.
"I" (voice-over): "Gradually, some tree trunks and branches and leaves are invading the road like long fingers." The
road became narrower and narrower, and moonlight passed through the gaps in the trees and spilled onto the ground.
"I" (voice-over): "Slowly, I walked along the narrow path that was once our main road, and finally walked to Mandley."
Mandley's distant view, the moon shone on the windowpane. , Emitting a faint light. The house is faintly visible.
"I" (voice-over): "Mandley, mysterious and silent. Time has not been able to damage this very well-proportioned wall. Moonlight can make the hallucinations even more peculiar. Suddenly, I feel the light as if coming out of the window. "The
moon was blocked by dark clouds, and the earth talked in secret. The light on the window went out. After a while, the moon quietly emerged from the dark clouds.
"I" (voice-over): "A dark cloud covered the moon, like a black hand on a person's face. The hallucinations disappeared." The
camera progressed and the house gradually became clear.
"I" (voice-over): "All I saw was the desolate and empty old
house ." Mandley was burned by the fire, leaving only the ruined walls of the house.
"I" (voice-over): "Facing the
ruined walls and recalling the past, I am silently speechless." Mandley pushed from the panorama to the close-up. Green moss has grown on the walls of the former magnificent mansion, surrounded by weeds.
"I" (voice-over): "We can never go back to Mandley again, that's very clear. But sometimes in my dreams I can go back there — back to those wonderful days in my life ———It started in the south of France.”
The view of Mandely turned into the seaside of southern France.
The sea hit the rocks, the waves roared, and the spray splashed.
I saw a middle-aged man standing on the steep cliff, about forty years old. He stared at the sea, thinking. His footsteps moved one step forward. ...
"I" (voice-over) shouted: "Ah, stop!"
This is Maxim Derwent. He was shocked when he heard the shouting suddenly. He turned around and saw "I" standing on the hillside, glaring at "I"-a naive girl in her twenties with a picture clip, and said: "What are you calling? Who are you? Why are you looking at me like this?"
His aggressive eyes startled "I" as if he was recalling something unpleasant. "I" got it: he didn't want to jump down.
"I" said sorry: "I...I'm sorry, I'm not...I, I'm just afraid of you..."
Maxim's tone eased a little at this time: "Oh, that's it. Ah, what are you doing here? "
I" stood on the hillside and slowly approached him: "I'm taking a walk."
Maxim: "Then, go and take your steps, don't shout here!"
"I" was so scared that he quickly walked away, and looked back at him as he walked, thinking this person was weird.
After watching "I" leave, Maxim looked back at the sea.
The long-term view of Monte Carlo.
In front of the Princess Hotel. A car came and stopped in front of the restaurant.
In the lobby of the hotel.
Mrs. Edith Van Hopper and "I" were sitting on the couch in the lobby, and the passengers behind them came and greeted the customers.
Mrs. Van Hopper: "I will never come to Monte Carlo this season again. In this hotel, not even a celebrity can be seen!"
While complaining, she scanned the hall with her eyes through magnifying glasses. . "I" looked at the newspaper on the sidelines.

"It's too cold! Entertain! (Seeing that the entertainer did not come, it is called again in French) Entertain!" Then she turned to "Me" and said: " You go and ask him to get me some..."
At this time, the middle-aged man who had been standing on the cliff walked into the hall very smartly. He came over.
Mrs. Van Hopper met him and muttered excitedly: "Ah! It's Mr. Derwent!" Turning to Mr. Maxim Derwent, "Hello!"
"I" was surprised to see him.
Maxim said to Mrs. Van Hopper, "Hello!" But his eyes looked at me.

Maxim said Light a cigarette for Mrs. Van Hopper.
Maxim: "No, I haven't been interested in this for many years!"
Mrs. Van Hopper: "I fully understand you. If I had a home like Mandley, I would never go to Monte Carlo. Here. I heard that Mandley is big and indescribably beautiful."
Maxim was not interested in Mrs. Van Hopper's words. He looked at "I" and said, "What do you think of Monte Carlo? Maybe you haven't thought about it?"
"I" said at a loss: "Uh, ah, me, I feel a little bit unnatural, unnatural."
Fan Mrs. Hopper said to Maxim in a contemptuous tone: "She is too horrible! Mr. Derwent, she is always so good. Many girls would rather come to see Monte Carlo if they are blind!"
Maxim : "If you are blind, you can't see it?"
Mrs. Van Hopper felt a little embarrassed, and then smiled at Maxim graciously: "Now we meet again, I hope I can be with you more. You Be sure to come to my room for tea. I think they will arrange a good room for you... Many rooms are idle now. If you feel uncomfortable, you can change one. Maybe your servant is now I haven't opened your luggage yet..."
"I" was embarrassed by Mrs. Van Hopper's annoyance.
Maxim: "I didn't bring a servant, maybe you are willing to help me?"
Mrs. Van Hopper said embarrassingly, "Ah, I...I don't..." She turned to a stern tone and told "I" and said, "Maybe You can do something for Mr. Derwent. You are very capable in everything you do."
Maxim: "What a wonderful suggestion! But I'm still willing to follow a motto: "Single travellers travel fast," maybe you haven't heard of it. Good night." He stood up and left quickly.
Mrs. Van Hopper frowned and looked at his leaving back and said: "Why did he go? Do you think he went so suddenly? Come on, don't sit here stupidly, let's go upstairs. You take Do you have the key?" As she said, she stood up with "I".
"I": "Take it, Mrs. Van Hopper."
Mrs. Van Hopper said as she walked: "I remember when I was young, there was a famous writer who turned around and walked back when he saw me. I think he was probably Falling in love with me, maybe he doesn't know it himself. (Speaking in French) Ah! Life is like this!"
Mrs. Van Hopper and "I" stopped at the elevator door.
Mrs. Van Hopper: "My dear boy, don’t think that I am too harsh on you. You are a bit presumptuous in front of Mr. Derwent. Your interruption when I was talking to him hindered me, and it must have hindered him, man. I don't like this."
"I" didn't take her discriminating tone into consideration, and felt very unhappy.
Mrs. Van Hopper: "Hey, don't be sullen, I am responsible for your behavior here. Maybe he didn't notice. Poor man, he is missing his dead wife..." The
elevator door opened Now, Mrs. Van Hopper and "I" get on the elevator.

On the coast.
The blue sky is floating with brisk white clouds. The sea water is like crumpled soft satin, and the breeze stretches it rhythmically. From the shore to the horizon... the house seemed to be shimmering in the sunlight and sea water.
"I" was sitting on a stone bench on the seashore and lowered his head to draw, Maxime leaned on the railing to look at the scenery, "I" looked at his profile and drew a sketch.
Maxim turned his head and said to "I": "You have been painting for a long time. I think this must be an excellent work of art." He approached "I" and reached for the painting.
"I" covered the painting with my hand and said, "Cough, don't look at it, I haven't finished the painting yet!" He said, while rubbing with an eraser.
Maxim: "Hey, the painting won't be broken, right? Don't wipe it, let me see..."

Maxim touched his own. nose.
"I": "You are not an easy subject to draw."
Maxim: "Huh?"
"I": "Your expression keeps changing..."
Maxim turned and approached the coast, facing the sea: " Really? Ah, the scenery here is so beautiful. If I were you, I would paint the scenery. This reminds me of the seaside of my hometown. Have you been to Cornwall?"
"I" approached him and stood by him. Facing the sea: "Well, I have been there. Once I went there on vacation with my father, I saw a postcard in the shop, printed on a beautiful mansion by the sea, and I asked whose house it was? An old woman Replied to me,'That is Mandley!' I was embarrassed at the time because I didn't even know this."
Maxime exclaimed and said, "Mandley is beautiful, but for me, it It's just the place where I was born and raised." The painful feeling returned to his eyes, "Now, I never want to see it.
" Seeing his melancholy expression, "I" felt very uneasy, in order to ease the atmosphere, "I" said with an immortal: "We are so lucky that we missed the bad weather, didn't we?"
Maxim absentmindedly: "Yeah."
"I" continued to say, "I don't like it, to resolve his displeasure." Do you like swimming in the UK before June? How warm is the water here. I can stay in the water all day long. There is a very rapid countercurrent in the sea over there. A person drowned there last year. I am never afraid of drowning. Dead, how about you?"
Maxim was even more disturbed. He turned and left.
When "I" turned to look at Maxim, he was no longer by "I". He walked a few steps forward with his back to the sea.
Maxim said to "I": "Let's go, I'll take you back."
"I" nodded.

restaurant door.
Mrs. Van Hopper sat in the car and told the hotel concierge: "Let her hurry up!" The
hotel concierge: "Yes, ma'am."
"I" was eager to find Maxim. "I" was really afraid that I would never see him again. Thinking of this, "I" desperately made one last attempt and hurried to the restaurant. The restaurant door opened and "I" looked inside. The entertainer came.

When Maxim saw "I", he felt a little sudden, and said, "Hello? What are you doing here? Anything?"
"I": "I'll say goodbye to you, we are leaving."

Maxim (voice-over): "I repeat, would you like Mrs. Van Hopper to go to the United States, or come back to Mandley with me?"
"I": "Do you need a secretary?"
Maxim (Voiceover): "I'm asking you to marry me, little fool!"

me ." "I" whispered: "Ah, but you don't know, it is... because... ...I, I am not the kind of person you should marry."
Maxim: "What do you mean?"
"I": "I am not a person of your class."
Maxim: "Which class am I?"
"I": "Uh, like Mandley... You know what I mean."
Maxim: "Well, you should be determined by me if you belong to it or not. If you If you don’t love me, that’s another matter.” He continued sarcastically, “It’s just a blow to my fantasies.”
“I” said hurriedly, “Oh, I love you, I love you very much. You, I cried all morning, and I'm afraid I will never see you again..." "I" was so sad that I was about to cry.
Maxime was very moved and grabbed "my" hand: "God bless you for this." He said in an emotional tone, "Maybe one day when I mention this to you again, you will not Believe it." He said in a sad tone: "Unfortunately you will grow up." Maxime finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, that's it. Pour me a cup of coffee, put in two pieces of sugar, and add some milk. , Don't forget the same is true for tea."
"I" picked up the pot and poured him a cup of coffee.

"I": "Ah, tell her, she will be angry."
Maxime ate while eating. Reached out and picked up the telephone receiver and asked "I": "How many room does she live in?"
"I": "Cough, she is not there, she is waiting for me in the car downstairs."
Maxim: "Hey, please pick up Counter. Hey, please find Mrs. Van Hopper. She is in the car outside. Please greet her on my behalf and ask her to come to my room. Yes, my room.”
Mrs. Van Hopper was sitting in the car. Inside.
The receptionist at the counter said to Mrs. Van Hopper: "Mr. Derwent invites you to his room."
Mrs. Van Hopper was overjoyed: "Mr. Derwent? Of course..." She hurriedly got out of the car.
Inside Maxim's room.
Maxime leaned on the shoulders of "I" and walked around the room, and said happily, "You wouldn't think of a proposal like this, would you? It should be in a place full of music. You are wearing a white dress and holding it in your hand. The red rose, the sound of violin, I woo you warmly behind the palm tree... honey, please don't mind."
Maxim kissed "me" on the cheek.
"I": "Well, I don't care." There was
a knock on the door.
"I" was nervous and uneasy, standing behind the door.
Maxim comforted "me": "Don't worry, don't worry, you don't need to say a word."
He opened the door, and Mrs. Van Hopper came in at Maxim, but did not find "I".
Mrs. Van Hopper smiled and said, "Mr. Derwent, I'm so happy that you are looking for me. I hurried to leave. I was so rude to not tell you. Because I received a telegram this morning and said I
My daughter is engaged and getting married soon..." Maxim: "Mrs. Van Hopper, it's a coincidence. I asked you to tell you that I am also engaged!"
Mrs. Van Hopper: "Really? That's great." It's too romantic. Who is that lucky person?"
Maxim pointed to "I" behind her, "I" was even more embarrassed.
Maxim: "I apologize to you for taking your partner so suddenly. I hope it won't make you too inconvenient?"
Mrs. Van Hopper looked back and saw "I" with a smile on her face. It immediately turned into surprise, and then into complex expressions such as jealousy and envy.
Mrs. Van Hopper: "When did this happen?"
"Me": "Just now, Mrs. Van Hopper, about a few minutes ago."
Mrs. Van Hopper was very dissatisfied after hearing this: "I can't believe it! "She pretended to be very happy again, "I think I should blame you, without revealing a word to me... What should I do? I pray for you, and congratulate you, I am happy for you. When, Where will the wedding take place?"
Maxim: "Here, as soon as possible."
Mrs. Van Hopper shrugged and said with a smile: "The whirlwind history of love is wonderful! I can postpone it for another week... This poor child does not have a mother. I have to take care of her dowry, entertain the guests, and deliver the bride to the groom."
Mrs. Van Hopper continued, "But my luggage..."
Mrs. Van Hopper ordered to "I": "Go down and tell them to move back the things in the car.
" I'll go take the luggage.
Maxime: "Wait a minute. We thank you very much, Mrs. Van Hopper, but I think we will try to keep people as quiet as possible."
Maxime turned and said to Mrs. Van Hopper, "I shouldn't affect your itinerary.
Mrs. Van Hopper: "But... " Maxim said hurriedly
: "No, no, no!" Then he turned to "Me", "My dear, I'll get your luggage back."
"I" Said: "Thank you, Maxim!"
Maxim left.
Mrs. Van Hopper said to "me" in her fierce tone: "This is what you did when I was sick,'playing tennis', my goodness! I think I should give you the title of'quick hand'. !————How did you get him to work? It seems that you are very scheming." She lit her cigarette and took a sip. "Tell me, you haven't done what you shouldn't do?!"
"I" timidly and angrily: "I don't understand what you mean!"
Mrs. Van Hopper was very angry and looked at it with contempt. "I".
Mrs. Van Hopper: "Huh, that's okay. I often say that the British have a weird appetite. Of course, you will become the hostess of Mandley from now on. Let me tell you frankly!" she said. Smoking, looking in the mirror, and then said, "My dear, I don’t think you are competent. You have no experience. You don’t even have a vague idea of how to be a noblewoman. Do you know, why does he want? Marry you? Don't think that he is in love with you. In fact, his empty house makes him feel empty and lonely. He just can't live a lonely life...."
Her words stung "I". Maybe her words are true, but "I" doesn't need such truthfulness, and "I" feels very sullen.
"I" said in an imploring tone: "Go away, Mrs. Van Hopper! Don't miss the train!"
Mrs. Van Hopper looked at "I" up and down, sneered from her nose, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Huh, Mrs. Derwent, goodbye, I wish you happiness!" She said grimly and left.
A sign "Municipal Government Marriage Hall" was hung on a building.
The mayor shook hands with "I" and Maxim, and congratulated him (in French): "I wish you happiness, I wish you happiness!"
Maxim and "I": "Thank you, goodbye!" and walked outside the door.
Maxim and "I" rushed downstairs...the
mayor shouted (in French): "Sir, you forgot to get your marriage certificate!"
"I" asked Maxim: "What did he say?"
Mike Sim: "He said we forgot to get the marriage certificate."
"I": "Oh my God!" The
mayor and another person stood at the window looking at Maxim and "I" and threw the marriage certificate down from the upper floor. Maxim caught it with his hat.
At this time, a pair of brides and grooms in wedding dresses passed by "we".
Maxim said: "Ah, they are the same as us."
"I" said in an enviable tone: "Look at how beautiful she is!"
Maxim said a little sorry: "Yeah, do you like the bridal veil? Or at least I should..."
Maxim helped "me" into the car.
He ran to the place where the flowers were sold in front of the car, handed the florist a note, and said to her (in French): "Madam, how much is it? Give these to you!" The
florist gave Maxim a lot flower.
Maxime said (in French): "Thank you very much!"
Maxime gave flowers to "me". "I" took the flowers happily and kissed them excitedly.
"I" said, "Ah, Maxim, how cute! Ah, it's so cute, so cute!" "I" closed my eyes happily, sucking the fragrance of flowers for a long time.
Maxim got into the car with him. The car galloped away.
The car came to the iron gate leading to Mandley. The servant Smith opened the big iron gate.
Smith said: "Mr. Derwent, please come home!"
Mike Sim said happily: "! Thank you, Smith"
car into the iron gate leading to Manderley, the traveling winding On the way. The sun shines through the leaves on the road.
The road was winding like a snake, and in some places it was not as wide as a road. There are big trees on both sides of the road, and the branches are connected to each other. Even the noon sun can hardly penetrate the dense leaves.
The sky gradually became overcast, and a cool breeze was blowing.
Maxim: "Is it cold? My dear?"
"I" shrinks: "Ah, a little bit."
Maxim said: "You don't need to be afraid, don't restrain. They will respect you. Don't do housework. Worry, Mrs. Danfoss is a housekeeper, let her take
care of it!" It was raining, and Maxim drove with one hand and put a raincoat on "me" with the other.
Maxim said: "Hmm, it's raining, so hurry up, oh, I'll cover your head."
"I" said, "Thank you!
Maxim Baiji also turned up the collar of his jacket. The
car was raining heavily. in gallops.
in the rain, Michael Sim and "I" sat in the car and move on.
Manderley finally appeared in front of us. it is like a medieval building, located in the depths of flat grassland garden leading to the beach From a distance, it looks like an egg building in the sea, and it is so beautiful.
"I" looked through the windshield window of the car in surprise, and the beauty of Mandley fascinated "I".
Maxim said, "Here it is. , This is Mandley. "The
car gradually approached the building and stopped in front of the building. The door was open. The old servant greeted him with an umbrella.
Maxim said to the old servant: "Fries, how are you all?" "
Friis smiled and answered:" Well, thank you, sir. Nice to see you back, sir. "
Maxim introduced "I" to Frith: "Fries, this is Mrs. Derwent."
"I" said, "Hello!"
Frith: "Madam..."
Maxim and "I" are together Walk into a hall. A large group of people stood in the hall, like servants lining up to welcome them.
Maxim's face showed a look of displeasure. "I" who was soaked in the rain felt embarrassed and timid.
Maxime said to Frith: "I didn't let you all come to meet him."
Frith: "This is an order from Mrs. Danfoss."
Maxime whispered to "I", "Ah, I'm sorry, this, very It will be over soon."
"Me" and Maxim walked towards the crowd in wet clothes soaked in rain.
At this time, a woman in a black dress appeared in front of "I" like a ghost.
Maxim introduced to "I": "This is Mrs. Danfoss."
"I" said: "Hello!"
Danfoss is too big: "Hello, all my department is ready for you!"
"I": "Ah , You're fine, don't bother too much."
Mrs. Danfoss' behavior seemed solemn and sophisticated, but her expression and tone were terribly cold. "I" didn't know what to do, and panicked, and the gloves fell to the ground...
"I" wanted to pick up the gloves, but Danfoss was too big to pick up the gloves at the same time. When she handed the gloves to "I", the gloomy expression made "I" even more embarrassed. ...
Maxim (voice-over): "We should have tea, Fries."
Fries' voice-over): "It's ready, sir."
Maxim said to "me", "Come on, dear "I" walked towards Maxim.
The hour hand is pointing at six and fifty.
"My" bedroom.
"I" was sitting in front of the dressing table, and the maid was helping "me" dress up, tidy up the skirt, button up the buttons...
knock on the door.
"I" shouted happily, "Oh, Maxim, please come in!" The
door opened and Mrs. Danfoss walked in. "I" said disappointedly
: "Good night, Mrs. Danfoss ." Mrs. Danfoss: "Good night, ma'am." "I" turned around and pretended to comb her hair. Danfoss looked at Alice too much, motioned to let her out, and Alice withdrew. Mrs. Danfoss asked "I", "Are you satisfied with Alice?"
"I" said, "Well, thank you, I am very satisfied."
Mrs. Danfoss went on to say, "She is the maid in the living room. Your maid did not come. Before, she would replace her first."
"I" said awkwardly, "Oh, but I have never had a maid. I believe Alice will do well."
Mrs. Danfoss gave another cold smile.
Mrs. Danfoss: "I'm afraid it can't always go on like this, madam. A distinguished lady like you usually has a personal maid."
"I" felt embarrassed and deliberately avoided Mrs. Danfoss' eyes.
Mrs. Danfoss walked a few steps in the house, looked at the layout of the house and said, "I hope you like this decorated room, madam."
"I" said uneasyly, "Ah, I, I don’t know it’s a new decoration. I hope I didn't bother you too much."
Mrs. Danfoss still stared at "me" with cold eyes. She said: "I just followed Mr. Derwent's instructions."
"I" asked, "Oh, then, what was it like before?"
Mrs. Danfoss still said coldly: "The decorations are all old-fashioned. I rarely entertain guests in this room in the past."
"I" felt strange: "Ah, this is not Mr. Derwent's bedroom?"
Mrs. Danfoss: "No, ma'am. He has never lived in this east room. Of course. You can’t see the sea from here,” Mrs. Danfoss approached the window, and the rain hit the window glass. She looked out the window and said, “You can only see the sea from the west room.”
“I”: “This room is beautiful. , I will feel very comfortable."
Mrs. Danfoss had a dull face and said coldly: "Madam, if you have anything, just tell me."
"I": "I think you have been in Mandley longer than others?"
Mrs. Danfoss: "There is no Chief Fries. He was here when the old gentleman was alive, and when Mr. Derwent was young."
"I": "Ah, when did you come?"
Mrs. Danfoss: "The late virtue I came when Mrs. Vent was a bride."
At this moment , her face showed a slight pride. "I" lowered his head and said nothing.
After a while, "I" said to her with a sincere and sincere attitude: "Mrs. Danfoss, I hope we can be friends. Life here is a new life for me. I hope to be successful and to make German Mr. Te is happy. Therefore I am willing to leave the housework to you."
Mrs. Danfoss: "Well, I hope I can do it to your satisfaction, madam. Mrs. Derwent has been in charge of me since her death, and Mr. I have never been dissatisfied."
Mrs. Danfoss' arrogant and indifferent attitude made "I" intolerable, and "I" hoped to leave her as soon as possible.
"I" walked to the door, and Mrs. Danfoss opened the door.
"I" said, "I should go downstairs."
"I" walked out the door and walked through the long hallway. Mrs. Danfoss followed like a ghost. It was raining outside, and the rain hit the glass windows, reflecting shadows on the walls and the ground. "Me" and Mrs. Danfoss walked past the West Room and paused.
Mrs. Danfoss looked at "me" like a shadow. She said to "I": "The west room I told you about is here. It is unoccupied now. This is the most beautiful room in the building. It is the only room where you can see the sea across the grass. It is Mrs. Derwent. bedroom. " "
I "house west direction and looked and saw the door tightly shut, a long-haired poodle lying outside the room.

The napkin embroidered with the first letter "R" in Rebecca's name is placed in the "I" plate on the dining table. "Me" and Maxim sat at each end of the long dining table. "I" smiled at Maxim innocently, and Fries and Robert brought food.
Panoramic view of Mandeley. morning.
"I" walked into the restaurant.
Frank sat in the dining room waiting for Maxim. Seeing "I" come in, he stood up and greeted with a smile: "Good morning!"
"I": "Good morning!"
Frank said politely: "You are Mrs. Derwent Right ?"
"I": "Yes."
Frank introduced himself with a smile: "Ah, my name is Frank Crowley. I manage the property for Maxim. I am very happy to meet you. There are many when Maxim is away. Nothing is dealt with." There was a friendly smile on his face.
"I" approached him: "Yes, I, I think it must be like this.... I, can I help you do something?..."
At this moment , Maxim came in with a stack of receipts. , He said jokingly: "Ah, no, Frank never lets anyone help. He manages the accounts like an old hen." Then he turned to Frank and said, "Frank, we have to count this."
Frank said immediately. "I'll get the receipt."
Maxim said to "I" with concern: "There is breakfast over there, you have to eat more, or the chef will be angry."
"I" smiled and replied, "I try to eat as much as possible. , Maxim."
"I'm going to the field with Frank to check to see if there are any missing points," he said kindly, "Can you be at home alone?" After saying "I" Kissed her hair.
"I" smiled
: "Okay ." Maxim: "Well, get acquainted with your new home, look at the "Times", there is a vivid article on English cricket."
Maxim and Frank towards the door Go. He suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "Oh, yes, my sister Beatrice and brother-in-law Giles Lacey are coming for lunch."
"I" felt very suddenly, and said somewhat nervously: "Today?"
Maxim: "Yes. I think my old sister wants to see you in a hurry, you will think she is very straightforward. If she doesn't If she likes you, she will tell you in person. Don't worry, my dear, I will rush back to protect you, goodbye! My dear."
"Our side: "Goodbye, Maxim! "
Frank:" Goodbye, "
" I ":" Goodbye! "
I" approached the table set against the wall.
"I" opened the silver lunch box and took a look, poured a drink, walked to the table and sat down....
Two servants came in.
Frith: " Good morning, madam. "
I": "Good morning, Fries." "
Friis opened his lunch box a look, found that" I "have been drinking coffee.
Fries:" Lady, what do you have to point it? "
I": "Oh, no, thank you, Friis, I'm not too hungry, thank you." "
Speaking, "I" stood up, picked up the purse and prepared to leave.
Friis: "Your newspaper, madam. "Speaking, handed "me" the newspaper on the table.
"I": "Yeah. Okay, thank you, Fries. "
I" walked to the door, and a servant hurriedly stepped forward to open the door for "I". "I" tripped under the feet.
Frith: "Madam! "Busy stepped forward to help "me".
"I" felt embarrassed: "I, I skid, thank you, Frith. "I" looked at the hall: "It's really big here. "
A panoramic view of the hall. There are fireplaces, large chandeliers, and long tables. There are some large oil paintings on the walls...
Fries: "Yes, madam. Mandeli is very big. It used to be a banquet hall. Now if there is a big banquet or dance party, it is still held here. It is open to the public once a week and is open to visitors. "
I": "That's great." "
"I" walked through the hall and entered a study room. There was no fire here. "I" felt cold and shrank and rubbed his hands.
Friis: "Excuse me, ma'am. There is no fire in the study until the afternoon. There is a fire in the fireplace in the morning hall. Of course, if you want to make a fire now, ma'am, I can..."
"I" said hurriedly, "Ah, No, Friss, no need..."
Friss: "Mrs. Derwent, um..." I found a faux pas, covered her mouth, and said again: "Well... I mean the former Mrs. Derwent always always after breakfast Calling or writing in the morning hall..."
"I": "Thank you."
"I" walked out of the room again and went to another room, but got lost.
Friss came up and asked, "Madam, what's the matter with you?"
"I": "Oh, nothing. Where is the morning hall?"
He pointed to the door on the left: "Go in through that door, on the left."
"I" ": "Oh, thank you!
"I" walked towards the left door.
Poodle Jasbah followed "I". In the
morning room.
The cover of the address book reads "Rebecca Derwent".
The fireplace in the morning hall was burning and warm. There were exquisite furnishings on the walls and tables, as if there were always people in this room.
"I" sat in front of the desk with several address books and neatly arranged on the desk. Some porcelain. The
phone rang and "I" picked up the handset: "Mrs. Derwent? I'm afraid you are mistaken. Mrs. Derwent passed away a year ago. Yo, I mean...me. "
I" put down the microphone, and suddenly remembered that "I" made a mistake, and couldn't help but shout, "Ah!" "I hurriedly wanted to pick up the microphone again, but it was too late...
Suddenly, Mrs. Danfoss appeared at the door, "I" was taken aback.
Mrs. Danfoss: "This is an internal call, madam, probably the gardener from the garden is coming to you Ask for instructions. "
She still maintained a dull face and tone, and there was a mocking smile on her face. She said, walking towards "me".
"I": "What can you do with me, Mrs. Danfoss?" Mrs.
Danfoss: "Mr. Derwent informed me that his sister, Mrs. Lacey and his brother-in-law, Major Lacey, came for lunch. I wonder if you like this menu. Is it?"
Mrs. Danfoss handed "me" the menu.
"I" didn't even look at it and said hurriedly: "Uh, I, I think this menu is very suitable."
Mrs. Danfoss: "Please pay attention, madam. I left a row for the'juice' item. German Mrs. Te used to be very particular about pouring sauces."
"I" just glanced at the menu: "Well, good, then just do as Mrs. Derwent did in the past!"
Mrs. Danfoss: "Yes, madam. When you finish writing the letter, Robert will send it to you at the post office."
"I" don't quite understand: "After writing the letter?...Look at the address book on the desk, "Oh, yes, of course, thank you. Mrs. Danfoss. "
Mrs. Danfoss left. "I" picked up the address book and accidentally touched the porcelain Eros on the table. "I" was terrified and didn't know what to do, so I quickly knelt on the ground, picked up the pieces, and pulled them. Open the drawer, tuck it into the innermost of the drawer, cover it with letter paper, and then close the drawer.
"I" again sat back at the table uncomfortably. The
Beatrice and his wife walked into the hall, and the servant Fris welcomed him. Step forward.
Beatrice: "Hello, Fries! "
Fries: "Good morning, Mrs. Lacey!" "
Beatrice asked: "Where is Mr. Derwent?" "
Fries: "Maybe I went to the field with Mr. Crowley. "
Beatrice:" We came, he was not, and more disappointing ah! "
I" saw them come in from upstairs.
"I" walked down the stairs gently and stood at the door of the small living room . Just about to enter, they heard a conversation.
Beatrice's voice: "This old Danfoss kept the house beautiful. She learned the art of Rebecca's flower arrangement."
Giles: "I don't know what she should think now. Listen to an opera singer's command. "
Beatrice:" how do you know she was an opera singer then? "
Giles:" Mike Sim not recognize her in the south of France you "?
Beatrice:" So what "?
" I" stood at the door, rubbing my hands, and finally got the courage to open the door and walk into the house.
Giles did not find "me" and continued: "Then, I think I am an opera actor."
"I": "Hello, I am Maxim's wife."
Beatrice stood up, "I" approached them and shook hands with them.
Beatrice looked at "me" up and down: "Hello, ah, you are not what I thought."
Giles: "You are so confused, I am talking about her." He turned to "I": " Ah, how about Mandley?"
"I": "It's beautiful here."
Beatrice: "What do you think of Danfoss?"
"I": "I haven't seen anyone like her in the past. . "
Giles:" you mean you are afraid of her, are not you that she is not too rigid "Having laughed??.
Beatrice thought her husband was talking too much, so she stopped him: "Giles, don't get in the way here, get out of the way."
Giles: "May I go find Maxim."
Beatrice Glancing at him: "Giles!"
Giles walked away, leaving Beatrice and "I".
"I" hesitated: "I, I don't mean to say that Mrs. Danfoss is bad, because..."
Beatrice: "Ah, you don't have to be afraid of her, you may not like her as much as I do. Let's sit. Let's get down."
"I": "Hey, yes, please sit down."
"I" and Beatrice both sat down.
Beatrice: "Do you know? She will jealous and hate you like crazy..."
"I" don't understand: "Then why?"
Beatrice: "You don't know? Maxim Didn't you tell? She only admires Rebecca."
"I" fell into thought.
In the restaurant.
Maxime, Beatrice, Giles, Frank and "I" took the seat. The servant Robert served dishes.
Beatrice said, "Robert, how are you?"
Robert: "Very well, thank you, ma'am."
Beatrice: "Does your tooth still hurt?"
Robert: "Also Pain, ma'am."
Beatrice: "You should unplug it! Unplug it all. These nasty things."
Maxim listened to what she said to Robert beside Beatrice.
Robert: "Thank you, ma'am."
Beatrice looked at the dishes on the plate and said, "Yo, there are too many dishes."
Robert walked away.
Giles said to "I": "Are you hunting?"
"I" said: "No, I can't even ride a horse."
Beatrice: "Ah , I have to be able to ride a horse here, we all can.—— —What posture do you use to ride a horse? Oh, yes, I forgot that you can’t ride a horse. You have to learn, otherwise there is nothing to play here.”
Beatrice asked Maxim: “When will you be like again? Have a dance party the same as in the past?"
Maxim said coldly, "Well, I never thought about it."
Beatrice: "But everyone hopes it."
Robert brought the food again, and everyone talked while taking the food. .
Maxim: "Yes, it will be like this."
Beatrice: "Why don't you hold a fancy dress party this summer?"
Maxim said absently, "Oh, I, ah..."
Beatrice asked "I": "My dear, do you like dancing?"
"I" answered frankly: "Well, I like to dance, but I can't dance well."
Giles: "Do you dance rumba? ? " "
I ":" I have not tried. "
Giles" I "said:." you have to teach me to dance, "he went on Mike Sim said:" Buddy, I want to know what your wife with Come to eliminate the legacy."
Maxim: "She knows how to paint."
Giles: " Drawing ? Don't do this modern thing. Someone painted the shadow of the lamp upside down, saying it was a painful heart. "I" asked "I" again: "Do you know how to drive a sailboat?"
"I": "No."
A shadow was cast on Maxim's face.
Giles: "Then, it's no better." Suddenly found Maxim's face changed, he consciously lost his words, and hurriedly covered his mouth: "Ah!"
Beatrice and "I" were in front of the mirror, Biah Triss said to "me" while looking in the mirror: "You love Maxim, don't you? I don't need to tell you, I can see it, but why don't you get your hair short, why don't you cut it short or comb your ears? Back?"
"I" brushed my hair behind my ears and looked in the mirror. Beatrice said again: "Yeah, no, it's not pretty, what did Maxime say? Does he like that?"
"I": "Ah, he never said it."
Beatrice: "Hey, I just talk about it casually. I can see that you don't pay attention to clothes. But I find it very strange that Maxim is very particular about clothes."
"I" tugged on his shirt and said, "It seems He never paid attention to what I was wearing."
"Ah, then he really changed a lot." She walked out with her arms around "I" and said as she walked, "Don't always worry about Maxim and his emotions. No one knows what he is thinking. Sometimes he gets angry, when he gets angry..." Beatrice whistled and said, "I don't think he will lose his temper with you. , What a gentle little thing you are!"
Giles came from another room.
Giles said to Atriss: "Come on, my wife, we must rush to play the first golf at three o'clock." At
the gate.
Beatrice: "Okay, here, here."
Giles said with a smile to Maxim: "Okay, goodbye, Maxim, brother."
Maxim: "Goodbye, Giles, Thank you for visiting."
Beatrice kissed "my" face and said, "Goodbye, dear, please forgive me for saying so unceremoniously to you. We sincerely wish you happiness."
"I "Sincerely: "Oh, thank you, Beatrice, thank you so much."
Beatrice: "I should congratulate you on seeing Maxime like this. We were all worried for him at this time last year. Of course, you know why he is."
The smile on "my" face disappeared.
Maxim: "Goodbye, Beatrice."
Beatrice: "Goodbye, brother."
Beatrice and Giles walked towards the car.
Maxim hurriedly walked to "I", put his arms around "I", took "I" by the hand, and waved goodbye to Beatrice and his wife.
The car drove away.
Maxime hugged "I" by the shoulder and said, "Well, they are gone, we can take a walk here." Looking at the sky, he continued: "It seems we are going to be in the rain, don't you care?
" I" turned to walk towards the stars: "Ah, wait a minute, I'll go upstairs to get a raincoat."
Maxime held "me": "There are a lot of raincoats in the flower hall." He went into the room and shouted: "Robert, come to the flower hall to get a raincoat for Madam!"
Maxime helped "I" and walked
down the steps and asked, "What do you think of Beatrice?" The puppy Jessba lay on the steps and looked. Holding us both.
"I": "Well, I like her very much, but she said that I am different from what she imagined."
Maxim: "I don't know what she thinks?"
"I": "I think it might be smarter and more sensible.
" "I" asked Maxim suddenly: "Do you like my hairstyle? "
Mike Sim strangely look at the" I "of hair, to feel the" I "of hair:" Hair? Ah, of course I like it. What does it mean? "
I" smiled: "Uh, nothing, I just want to know. "
Mike Sim happily smiled:" You're funny. "
Robert sent the raincoat, and Maxim took the raincoat from Robert.
Maxim: "Thank you!" "
I" asked: "Do you need to put it on?" "
Maxim helped "me" put on a raincoat: "Ah, of course, of course, it's better to be careful with children." "The
puppy Jessba was lying on the steps, and Maxim called to him: "Come on, Jessba, run your fat down a little bit!" The puppy Jessba ran ahead, Maxim and "I" happily walked towards the seashore. When they reached the side of the rock, Jessba quickly ran towards the wooden steps behind the hill.
Maxim stopped. , Shouted: "Jessba, here, not the way, come back! He whistled, but the puppy didn't listen to him, and continued to run down.
"I" asked Maxim: "Where does that road lead?" "
Maxim: "Oh, there is a small bay there, and we often stop the boat there." "
I": "Let's go there!" "
Maxim took hold of "I", not letting "I" go: "Cough, no, there is nothing good to see there, it's just a beach, it's meaningless." The
puppy continued to run towards the beach. "I" looked at the beach and demanded: "Oh, go! "
Maxim reluctantly agreed: "Then, well, if you must go, just go take a look. "
Maxim and "I" walked down the steps together, and there was a dog barking.
"I" worriedly: "That's Jasbah, maybe something has happened to it?" Maybe it is hurt. "
Maxim: "No, it won't." Dear, leave it alone. "
"I": "Shall I go and have a look?"
Maxim reluctantly said loudly: "Tell you not to worry about it, it won't be hurt, it will come back by itself."
"I" only worry about the puppy. For safety, he didn't listen to Maxim's words and ran to the beach alone.
Maxim stopped, his expression nervous and sullen.
In front of the bay cabin. Jasbah uttered a cry of "Uhhhhhhh".
"I" shouted: "Come back, Jessba!...Jessba!...Jessba!..." The
puppy was lying outside the door of the hut, "I" ran to the door of the hut, squatting down and petting it . "I" said to it gently: "Go home, Jessba..."
The door of the hut opened slightly, and a strange-looking man walked out, his face in rags, his face haggard, and his eyes dull.
"I" was so scared that I took two steps back: "Oh, I don't know anyone here."
The man said, "I know this dog. It belongs to that big house, not yours."
"I" "It's not mine, it's Mr. Derwent's... Do you have a rope here to let me tie the dog?"
"I" stepped over the man and walked into the hut.
The hut was in a mess, covered with dust and cobwebs. On the couch, there is a blanket embroidered with "R". "I" hurriedly took a rope and walked out and tied the dog.
"I" said, "Let's go, Jasbah."
The man stood in the corner and looked at "I" with his sluggish eyes. He said timidly: "Please don't tell anyone that you saw me here, okay?"
"I" asked, "Aren't you from here?"
He still looked at "me" with his sluggish eyes. He said: "I did nothing, just put my shells here. She went to the sea, did she? Never come back...."
"I": "Yes, she will never come back again "I" called the puppy: "Let's go, Jessba."
"I" took the puppy, over the rocks hit by the waves, and climbed the wooden ladder on the hill.
Maxim was waiting for "I", and when he saw "I" coming, he was very angry, ignored "I", turned and walked alone, "I" hurriedly chased after him.
"I" ran and said, "Maxim, what's the matter with you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. I went to find a rope to tie Jasbah." Maxim
still ignored "I". , I just walked forward without stopping.
Maxim: "Run, Jasbah!"
"I" gasped and said, "Wait for me." Maxim stopped and turned his face, looking at "me" with his melancholy eyes.
"Maxim, what's the matter with you? Are you angry?"
Maxim said angrily: "You know I don't want you to go there, but you want to go!"
"I": "Why can't you go? There is a room below There is a very weird person in the hut."
Maxim said loudly: "You didn't enter the hut?"
"I": "Enter, that door..."
Maxim: "Okay, I'll do it later Don’t go, do you hear me?"
"I": "Then why?"
Maxim shouted roughly: "Because I hate that place! If you have my memory, you won't go there, or mention it." There, I don’t even want to think about it!"
Maxim's face was pale and nervous, "I" was scared, and asked him: "What's the matter with you, yo, I'm sorry, please...,
"I" Looking at Maxim's sad face, I felt very uncomfortable.
Maxim: "We should leave here and never come back. He moaned in pain, "Ah, how stupid I am:"
"I" lay down on his shoulder in pain, crying: "I make you upset, I make you sad, I can't bear to see you like this. I...how I love you! ......"
Maxim excitedly stroked "my" hair, then held "my" face and kissed "my" hair.
Maxim's voice softened, comforting "I" and saying, "Really? Really? Ah, make you cry, forgive me! Sometimes I get angry for no reason, and I can't restrain myself at all. Isn't it?...Go," he helped "I" to walk back, "Let's go home and drink tea, and forget all this!"
Hearing Maxim's words, "I" felt a little comforted.
"I": "Okay, let's forget about it all."
Maxim took the dog's rope and said, "Here it is, I'll take Jessba."
At this moment, "I" took it out of his raincoat pocket. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and he kissed "me", "I" broke into a smile. "I" lowered his head and suddenly noticed that Rebecca's name "R" was also embroidered on the handkerchief, and "I"'s face was covered with clouds. ...The
