Description
Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again. I stood in front of the iron gates at the beginning of the drive. When I had first seen those gates, they had been open wide to welcome me. Now, in my dream, they were closed. Behind them, the drive went on to Manderley.In my dream, I was able to pass through the closed gates. I walked up the long winding drive. The trees and flowers grew near to the drive and grass almost covered it. As I came to the last bend of the drive, I felt the old excitement. I was near to Manderley again. At last, I could see Manderley. The old house was as beautiful as ever.It was moonlight in my dream. The pale light shone on the windows and grey stone walls of the old house. And in my dream I saw the sea. It was silent and smooth as glass. For a moment, the house seemed full of light. I thought that we were living there, happy and secure.The moonlight shone more clearly. Now I saw that Manderley was an empty shell. Only the grey stone walls remained standing. No one would ever live there again. We would never-live there happily, Maxim and I. We would never live there free of Rebecca, free from thoughts of the past.
