Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again. It seemed to me
that I was passing through the iron gates that led to the driveway.
The drive was just a narrow track now, its stony surface covered
with grass and weeds. Sometimes, when I thought I had lost it, it
would appear again, beneath a fallen tree or beyond a muddy
pool formed by the winter rains. The trees had thrown out new
low branches which stretched across my way. I came to the house
suddenly, and stood there with my heart beating fast and tears
filling my eyes.
