Summary chapter nineteen

Maxim went to answer the phone, leaving the narrator alone.The narrator was not
afraid of Rebecca anymore.
Maxim returned from answering the phone, and explained that he had just spoken to
Colonel Julyan, the police magistrate. Julyan had asked Maxim if he had made a
mistake about the other body. The phone rang again, and Maxim went to answer it.
When he returned, he said that the caller was a reporter. He said that everything
would be in the papers the following day and that there was nothing he could do.
The next morning, the narrator woke up to find that Maxim had already left the
house. The narrator ordered Robert to send a message to Mrs. Danvers about the
menu. Mrs. Danvers went to meet with the narrator, complaining that Rebecca had
never used Robert to deliver messages. The narrator replied that she didn't care
what Rebecca used to do, she was the new Mrs.De Winter, and she was not longer
afraid of Mrs. Danvers.
In the afternoon, Colonel Julyan went to Mandereley with Maxim and Frank. They
chatted casually about the narrator's life in France . Then, Julyan turned the
conversation to Rebecca’s body. The problem, he explained, was that Maxim had
already identified one body as Rebecca’s, when it turned out that a different body
was hers.. While the narrator was listening, she made eye contact with Frank for a
second, and realized that Frank might have known what really happened to
Rebecca.
Colonel Julyan thanked the narrator and Maxim for the lunch and left the place along
with Crawley.Maxim and the narrator spoke and Maxim pointed out that the narrator
looked years older, she had grown so much older in twenty four hours.
