'That's probably Aron's truck,' said Megan

'No,' said Brian

'Of course,' said Leona

'He said he'd be here for sure.

'Yes, sure,' said Leona, feeling a little worried.

'No,' said Brion

He also said he might hike in Utah

'Mmm, that's a big area,' said Brion

'Oh dear,' said Aron's mother

Another friend, Jason, had sent Steve a list of all the canyons Aron said he wanted to hike in Canyonlands

But Captain Nemo said no

As he said this, a bright light appeared from behind the mountain of rocks in front of us.

But I know one man who said he saw one."

Suddenly, I thought I understood what the men below said in their strange language

'Oh! Oh! I'm going to be late!' it said.

'That's strange! A rabbit with a watch!' said Alice.

'That didn't hurt,' she said and sat up quickly

'This feels strange,' said Alice

'Alice! Alice!' she said after some minutes

'Yes, I will eat it,' Alice said

'Alice, stop it this minute! Don't cry!' she said.

'Oh, the Duchess, the Duchess!' he said

'Please, Sir-' she said very politely.

'Oh Mouse,' she said

'Oh, I'm sorry,' said Alice

'No,' Alice said

'No, no,' said Alice quickly

'Dear Mouse!' said Alice softly

'All right,' it said

'Good afternoon,' it said loudly

I'm Alice,' she said.

'I have an idea,' said the Dodo.' We all want to get warm

'I can tell you,' said the Dodo,' but I won't

Then he said, 'Everybody was first

'She will,' the Dodo said and looked at Alice

'Here we are,' she said, and opened the box

'But Alice has to have something, you know,' said the Mouse.

'I can have the box,' said Alice sadly.

'Give it to me,' said the Dodo and Alice gave it to him.

'Please take this beautiful box,' he said.

'Oh, where is Dinah?' said Alice

One old bird said, 'I really have to go home

'Oh, my ears and nose!' he said quietly

'I'll climb in through the window,' the Rabbit said.

'Well, what's it doing up there? Take it away!' said the Rabbit angrily.

'That hurt!' said Alice.

'I have to get bigger again,' said Alice

Then it said slowly, 'Who are you?'

I don't really know, Sir,' Alice said

'I don't understand,' said the Caterpillar.

'I'll try and tell you,' said Alice

'Well, perhaps it's not difficult for you, but it is for me,' said Alice.

'For you? Who are you?' said the Caterpillar and laughed

She stood very tall and said, 'I will tell you, but first, you tell me

'Don't get angry,' said the Caterpillar.

'No,' said the Caterpillar.

It did not speak for some minutes, then it said, 'So you're different, are you?'

'Yes, I am, Sir,' said Alice

'So you can't remember things,' said the Caterpillar

'You are old, Father William,' the young man said,

'You are old, Father William,' the young man said,

'That is not right,' said the Caterpillar

Some of the words are different,' said Alice.

'It's wrong from beginning to end,' said the Caterpillar

'I'd like to be taller,' said Alice

'Seven centimetres is a very good size,' said the Caterpillar angrily

'It's a good size for you, but not for me,' said Alice

Eat from that brown mushroom there and you'll get smaller,' it said

'Because it's a Cheshire Cat, that's why,' said the Duchess.

I didn't know that,' said Alice.

'You don't know much,' said the Duchess.

'Here, you can have it now,' site said

'Cheshire Cat, dear,' she said.

'Please, can you help me? I want to go somewhere new,' said Alice.

'Somewhere different,' Alice said.

Then it said, 'Walk that way and you'll come to a house

'But I don't want to meet a strange man,' said Alice.

It said, 'Walk this way and you'll find the March Hare

'Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat

'Of course you are,' the Cat said

'I'd like to see the Queen,' Alice said, 'but I haven't got an invitation?'

'You'll see me in the Queen's garden?' said the Cheshire Cat, and vanished.

'It changed into a pig? Alice said.

'I knew it!' said the Cat and vanished again.

'I think I'll go and visit the March Hare?' said Alice

Then she said, 'Cheshire Cat, one minute you vanish and the next minute you're there again

'I know?' said the cat

'There are a lot of cats without a smile, but a smile without a cat! Now that's very strange!' Alice said.

'There are a lot of places,' Alice said

'Have some wine,' the Mad Hatter said politely.

'There isn't any,' said the March Hare.

'Then why did you say, "Have some wine"? It wasn't very polite of you,' Alice said angrily.

That wasn't very polite of you,' said the March Hare.

Cut your hair!' said the Mad Hatter.

'Oh, be quiet,' said Alice.

The Mad Hatter opened his eyes very wide, but he said nothing

'Wednesday, I think,' she said.

'My watch says Monday,' the Mad Hatter said

'It's a strange watch!' she said

'I don't really understand you,' she said politely

'We move from place to place,' said the Mad Hatter.

'No, we don't have time,' said the Mad Hatter.

'It's a long story,' said the Mad Hatter

'I see,' said Alice and smiled politely

'Oh, look! The Mouse is asleep again,' said the Mad Hatter

'Be quiet!' the Mad Hatter said very loudly, and the Mouse stopped singing.

'Have some more tea,' the March Hare said to Alice.

'You can have more,' the Mad Hatter said

'Then don't speak,' the Mad Hatter said.

"I'll never go there again,' Alice said

'Be careful, Five!' one of them said.

'We're making the flowers red,' one of the gardeners said.

'You tell her, Seven,' Five said.

'No,' said Seven,' You tell her, Two.'

The Queen said to the Knave of Hearts, 'Who is this?'

So he smiled and said nothing.

She turned to Alice and said, 'What's your name, child?'

'Oh, be quiet!' said Alice.

He said quietly, 'Don't be angry, my dear

'Turn those men over!' she said to the Knave of Hearts

'Well, you see, M - M - Madam,' said Two

'I see,' she said

'Don't be afraid,' she said

'It's a very fine day,' somebody said

'Very,' said Alice

'Quiet!' said the Rabbit and looked all round him

'They're going to cut off her head!' he said.

I said, "Why?"'

'She hit the Queen,' the Rabbit said

'Quiet!' said the Rabbit again

When she arrived, the Queen said-'

'I don't,' said Alice

'She's wonderful,' said Alice

'I don't like it,' said the King.

'Well, I don't like you,' said the Cat.

'That's not polite,' said the King and got behind Alice.

Alice said, 'A cat can look at a King

'Well, this cat has to go,' said the King

'Oh yes you are,' said the King

'Do something now, or I'll cut off everybody's head!' said the Queen angrily.

Then she said, 'It's the Duchess's Cat

'Bring the Duchess here,' the Queen said.

'Come for a walk, you dear thing,' the Duchess said to Alice

'All right,' said Alice

'Read the paper!' he said

'No, no,' said the Rabbit

Call the Mad Hatter!' said the King.

'Why did you call me? I wanted to finish my tea,' he said.

Then he said, 'March the fourteenth - I think.'

'Fifteenth,' said the March Hare.

'Sixteenth,' said the Mouse.

'Write that down,' said the King to the White Rabbit

Then he said to the Mad Hatter, 'Take off your hat.'

'It isn't mine,' said the Mad Hatter.

'Oh, so you took it from somebody, you bad man,' said the King.

'Don't be afraid or I'll cut off your head!' said the King.

'I didn't!' the March Hare said quickly.

'Well, the Mouse said...' The Mad Hatter stopped and looked at the Mouse

'After that,' said the Mad Hatter, 'I cut some more bread-and-butter.'

'I can't remember,' the Mad Hatter said.

'You have to remember,' the King said, 'or I'll cut off your head.'

'You can go,' he said to the Mad Hatter.

'You're hurting me,' the Duchess said.

'I can't do anything,' said Alice

'You can't get bigger here,' said the Mouse.

'Yes, I can,' said Alice

'Yes, but not as fast as you,' said the Mouse

'Call the next person!' said the King.

'Speak!' said the King.

'No!' said the cook.

'Ask her some questions,' the White Rabbit said to the King.

'All right, all right,' said the King

'Fish,' said the cook.

'Don't be stupid,' said the King

'Put everything and everybody back!' said the King loudly

'That's very important,' said the King.

'You mean, unimportant, Sir,' said the White Rabbit

'Unimportant - of course,' said the King

So she has to leave the room!' he said.

'You are,' said the King.

'More than two kilometers high,' said the Queen.

'Well, I'm not leaving this room,' said Alice.

'You stupid woman,' said Alice

'Don't be stupid!' Alice said

'Wake up, Alice dear,' her sister said

'Oh!' said Alice, and then she understood

'Let's go home to tea,' she said

'OK,' the man said.

And the police said, 'That's OK with us

And he meant it when he said that kind of thing

'That's a stupid town!' he said.

'They never taught me to catch a ball at high school,' I said

'If you're an idiot,' he said, angrily, 'how do you know how to do that?'

'Maybe I am an idiot,' I said, 'but I'm not stupid.'

'I heard the game on the radio!' she said

We didn't talk, but after about an hour, I asked, 'Can I try it?' and he said 'OK', and gave me the harmonica

'I didn't learn anywhere,' I said.

'Keep it,' he said

'I saw you play football yesterday,' she said

'OK,' I said.

'Forrest,' he said, 'all year we have secretly taught you to catch the ball and run with it

'OK, Coach,' I said.

'Well, boys,' he said, 'there's always next year.'

'I knew this would happen, Forrest,' he said

'But I said to them.

One day, the cook was ill, and somebody said, 'Gump, you're going to be the cook today.'

'What am I going to cook?' I said

'It's easy,' said one of the men

'Maybe it won't taste very good,' I said.

'Nothing does in this place!' he said

There are some pots in the cupboard,' he said

'You've got to find something,' one of the other men said.

'Do what you like,' they said.

'She left school and went off with a group of people who were against the war,' he said.

He looked up at me, and said, 'Forrest, why did this happen?' What could I say? Then he said, 'Play me a song on the harmonica, will you?'

Then all the colour went out of Bubba's face and he said something very softly: 'Home.'

Then one day I got back to the hospital and a Colonel Gooch said, 'Gump, we're going back to America together! You're going to see the President of the United States, and he's going to give you a medal because you were very brave.'

'Come on, Gump!' he said

'Get us two more drinks, please,' he said.

She looked at him and said, 'I won't get you anything - not as much as a glass of warm river-water, you pig!' Then she looked at me and said, 'And how many babies have you killed today, you big ape?'

I was just thinking of getting out of there and having some breakfast when the President said, 'Boy, is that your stomach making that noise?' So I said, 'Yes,' and the President said, 'Well, come on, boy, let's go and get something to eat!' And I followed him into the house, and a waiter got us some breakfast.

The President asked me a lot of questions about Vietnam and the army, but I just said, 'Yes, it's OK' or shook my head to say no, and after several minutes of this we were both silent.

Later, when we were back in the garden, the President said, 'You were hurt, weren't you, boy? Well, look at this...' And he pulled up his shirt and showed me the place on his stomach where he was hurt once

'Yes, sir,' I said

It was in the afternoon, and the man behind the bar said, Jenny'll be here about nine o'clock.'

'OK,' he said.

'Who is that playing the harmonica?' she said

'I didn't leave school,' said Jenny

'With my boyfriend,' she said

'Rudolph, this is Forrest,' Jenny said

'Gone,' she said

'Don't cry, Jenny,' I said

But the next minute we were kissing and making love! And when we finished, Jenny said, 'Forrest, where have you been all this time?'

Then she said, 'Oh, no! Not you, too!'

'Jenny!' I said.

'Stay away from me, Forrest!' she said

'She just got out of prison,' he said

Suddenly Jenny said, 'Did you know that Forrest won a medal?'

'Forrest,' she said

'What?' I said.

'It's an old number,' he said, 'but perhaps she's still there.'

'Jenny Curran?' a man's voice said

I asked about Jenny at the office, and the woman said, 'Yes, she works in here

I went up behind her and said, 'That looks like a nice apple.' She didn't look up

She just said, 'Forrest, it has to be you.'

'I finish work in three hours, Forrest,' Jenny said

'I saw you on TV when you went up into space, Forrest,' she said.

'I don't know,' I said

Later, we went back to Jenny's flat, and she said, 'You can stay here.'

Several people wanted to try arm-wrestling with me again, and I said OK

Real wrestling,' he said

'It isn't honest,' she said.

It said:

Like I said before, Big Sam taught me how to play chess when I was in the jungle

Then I said, 'If you make that move, you'll lose your queen.'

He didn't look up but, after a minute, he said, 'Perhaps you're right.'

It was time for me to get back to the bus station, but when I started to leave, the old man said, 'Why don't you sit down and finish this game with me?'

'I can't,' I said

'Just who are you?' he said after the game.

'Forrest Gump,' I said.

'You can make a lot of money from chess,' he said

'Am I?' I said.

'Who, me?' I said.

'We're here for the chess tournament,' said Mr Tribble

'You are a big, strong man, aren't you?' he said

'He has to play chess in a tournament tomorrow,' said Mr Tribble

'He hasn't got time to be an actor.' 'It won't take long,' said Mr Felder.

'It's going to be difficult travelling with an ape,' said Mr Tribble.

'He won't be any trouble, Mr Tribble,' I said.

'Forrest,' said Mr Tribble, 'You're a wonderful chess player, but I never know what's going to happen next! Here's half of the money that you've won - it's almost five thousand dollars

'Oh, Forrest,' she said, 'you're home at last!'

'Yes, Mom,' I said.

'Forrest Gump!' she said, when she saw me

'I don't hear from her very often,' she said

'They?' I said.

Didn't you know?' she said

'Why don't you tell everybody that you're taking a long holiday, Forrest?' he said

'I don't know,' I said.

'Why don't you go to Savannah?' she said

'OK,' I said.

'We live here now,' she said

'It's a long story,' I said

'Yes,' she said.

'His name is Forrest,' she said quietly

'I knew that a baby was on the way when I left Indianapolis,' said Jenny, 'but I didn't want to say anything

'I'm sure,' said Jenny

'Of course,' said Jenny, and she called to him

'What a funny animal you've got,' he said.

'He's an ape,' I said

'Yes,' he said

'A bit,' I said

'Idiots,' said Jenny

'Then send the rest to Jenny and little Forrest,' I said.

To avoid misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose not to speak of particular amendments so far as to say that, holding such a provision to now be implied Constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable.

Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bondman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether."

A great lover of the British Empire has said that under the British constitution even a successful rebellion is perfectly constitutional, and he quotes historical instances, which I cannot deny, in support of his claim

On the contrary, I have said it repeatedly to my countrymen that violence, whatever end it may serve in Europe, will never serve us in India.

I decided what kind of people they were before they said a word to me

'He said that a friend of yours recommended this company.'

'I thought you knew Mr Sampson already,' our host said.

'It's not a policy for me,' Mr Slinkton said

'Your profession has suffered a great loss,' Mr Slinkton said suddenly.

I have said that I disliked Mr Slinkton when I first saw him in the insurance office

'I have only heard stories about it,' he said

Then he said to me, 'You are surprised that Mr Meltham's story affects me so strongly

'I have come back,' he said, 'because I want to find out what my friend has done with the insurance forms

'Perhaps I can help,' I said

'Yes, Mr Sampson,' he said

He left the forms in my office, said goodbye politely and then left.

'It's true we are very close,' Mr Slinkton said very seriously

She said he was a very good, kind man

'Miss Niner.' I said urgently, 'I have something to tell you

I replied politely to everything he said, but I was holding a weapon in my pocket as we walked along together.

'Slinkton's not in yet,' he said loudly

'Boil the brandy, Julius!' he said.

'No, Mr Slinkton,' I said firmly

'You want to save your insurance company some money,' he said calmly

'I'm your niece's shadow,' Beckwith said quietly.

Still he said nothing.

'I've watched you all the time,' Beckwith said

'You don't even know my real name,' he said very quietly

'I have done what I promised to do.' Meltham said sadly to me

'I passed this place at 3.15,' Constable Neil said, 'but there was nothing here.'

'The woman's legs are still warm,' said Constable Mizen

Her friend Ellen said she was a clean, quiet person

And her father said, 'I don't think she had any enemies

'I must get some money or I can't sleep in my lodgings,' Annie said.

The other, Elizabeth Darrell, said that as she was walking down Hanbury Street at about 5.30 a.m

He said she lived with him and her name was Elizabeth Stride

Mrs Tanner, the deputy, said she last saw Elizabeth alive about 7 p.m

She asked him the time and he said nearly one o'clock, which was about the time of Elizabeth Stride's murder.

The woman said her name was Mary Ann Kelly, but her real name was Catherine Eddowes.

'This way, miss,' said the policeman

Catherine said, 'Good night.' And she went to meet her fate at the hands of Jack the Ripper.

He said the woman was short, and wore a black jacket and bonnet

'I saw no one and heard no cry or noise,' he said later

People said she was 'jolly', always singing

Mary's friend, a laundress named Maria Harvey, was there and said that Mary and Barnett seemed to be friendly

Mrs Cox followed them into the court and said, 'Goodnight, Mary Jane' as they were going into Mary's room

She later changed this to a quiet cry of 'Oh! Murder!' Mrs Prater said she went back to sleep; she often heard cries of murder in the court.

John McCarthy said later, 'It looked more like the work of a devil than of a man.' And Mrs Prater, who looked through the window, said, 'I can never forget it if I live to be a hundred.'

Schwartz said the man had a small moustache

Hutchinson said the man was aged about 34-35, just over 1.67m, with a pale face, dark eyes and hair and a small moustache

Sarah Lewis, the witness who passed Christ Church at 2.30 a.m., said she saw a man standing by a lodging house opposite Miller's Court

Hutchinson's statement begins, 'About 2.00 a.m., 9th, I met the murdered woman, Kelly, and she said to me, "Hutchinson, will you lend me sixpence?"' So he and Mary knew each other

'A meal and a bed,' said the stranger.

'Then you're welcome,' the innkeeper said.

'I'm sorry, Monsieur,' the innkeeper said

The innkeeper approached and, bending towards the man, said in a fierce whisper, 'Get out

Then she said, 'Have you tried everywhere?'

'What about that one over there?' she said, pointing across the square to a small house beside the bishop's palace.

'People say there's a stranger in town,' she said

'This is no joke,' Mme Magloire said

'Come in,' said the bishop.

'My name is Jean Valjean,' the stranger said before anybody could speak

'Mme Magloire,' said the bishop, 'will you please prepare another place at the table for this gentleman?'

'No, you don't understand,' he said

'I'm a priest,' said the bishop

'A priest?' Valjean said, sitting by the fire

After dinner, the bishop said goodnight to his sister, picked up one of the two candlesticks and, handing the other to his guest, said, 'I'll show you to your room, Monsieur.'

'Sleep well,' he said

'Yes,' said the bishop

The bishop, who had been bending sadly over a plant damaged by the basket, looked up and said gently, 'I think I was wrong to keep the silver for so long

'Silence,' said one of the policemen, 'This is the Bishop of Digne.'

'I'm delighted to see you again, dear friend,' he said

'Monseigneur,' said the sergeant, 'do I understand that this man was telling the truth? We found this silver in his bag, and

'Of course,' said the bishop

'Now, go in peace,' he said softly.

The bishop walked up to him and said in a low voice, 'Don't forget that you've promised to use the money to make yourself an honest man.'

'Petit-Gervais,' said the boy, smiling trustfully

'Go away,' said Valjean.

Then, reaching for his stick, he said, 'Go to Hell!'

'You have two very pretty children, Madame,' a voice said from close beside her.

'Thank you,' said the woman

'My names Fantine,' the young woman said

She took Mme Thenardiers hand and said, 'Will you look after my daughter for me?'

Mme Thenardier looked at Fantine thoughtfully, but said nothing.

Mme Thenardier still said nothing, but a man's voice from inside the house called, 'We'll take seven francs a month, and six months in advance.'

'You will have them,' said Fantine, assuming that she was talking to Mme Thenardiers husband

'Then we agree to look after her for you,' he said.

'This money will be useful,'Thenardier said to his wife

'Such beautiful hair!' the barber said.

'You've got lovely teeth,' he said

While the policeman was trying to drag her to her feet, however, a voice from the shadows said, 'One moment please.'

The mayor turned to Inspector Javert and said, in a soft, firm voice, 'This woman must be released.'

Madeleine said

'I heard what you said,' M

Madeleine said to her

Madeleine finally said.

Madeleine, looking hard at Javert without expression, said quietly, 'I'm afraid I don't understand.'

'This matter is of no interest to me, Javert,' he said casually

'I was going to the man's trial in Arras tomorrow, 'Javert said

'Javert,' he said, 'you're an honourable man

Instead, he said, 'I've behaved unjustly towards an innocent man

Madeleine, pale and trembling, stood up and said:

Madeleine finally said

Madeleine said.

Madeleine said gently, taking her hand

'I know what you've come for,' he said quietly so that Fantine wouldn't hear

Madeleine said, despite his efforts to speak quietly, began to tremble.

'I didn't come here to argue,' Javert said, stepping back nervously, afraid that Valjean was going to attack him

'I'm ready now,' he said.

'We always knew there was something strange about him,' they said

'Buy some bread on the way,' she said, giving the girl some money.

'This is a very heavy bucket for such a small child,' he said gently, looking down at her from his great height.

As they were approaching the inn, Cosette turned to him and said, 'May I have the bucket now? If Mme Thenardier sees that someone has been helping me, she'll beat me.'

'What took you so long?' Mme Thenardier said angrily when she saw the little girl.

'This gentleman wants a room for the night,' Cosette said, trembling with fear, expecting to be beaten.

'I'm sorry, the rooms are full,' she said.

'I can pay the price of a room,' the old man said.

'I'm waiting,' Mme Thenardier said threateningly.

Cosette said nothing, speechless with fear as the woman raised her arm to hit her

'What's the matter?' the old man said, rising to his feet.

'Can't you see?' Mme Thenardier said, red with anger

'I don't understand,' the old man said.

'Here,' he said softly, placing it gently on the floor in front of Cosette

Finally, he looked up from the bill without expression and said, 'Tell me, is business good here in Montfermeil?'

'What would you say,' the old man said after a moment's thought, 'if I offered to take the child from you?'

'Just a minute,' her husband said

The old man put three 500-franc notes on the table and said, without smiling, 'Now fetch Cosette.'

'No,' he said

'Come along,' he said

'You have no money, and I am rich,' he said

'You shouldn't stay alone all the time,' his good friend, Enjolras, said to him

The girl was always talking happily, while the man said very little

'Ursula.' Marius said the first name that came into his head

He stared fiercely at him and said, 'So, it's you again! I was right

'Come in,' Marius said, expecting it to be the concierge, Mme Bougon

'Books!' she said, and then added with pride, 'I know how to read and write

Picking up a pen that lay on the table, she wrote on a piece of paper, Be careful! The police are coming! She showed Marius her work and then, changing the subject quickly, for no reason at all, she gazed into his eyes and said shyly, 'Do you know, M

Approaching him, she rested a cold red hand on his shoulder and said, 'You never notice me, M

He moved away from the girl's touch and said, 'I think, Mademoiselle, that I have something belonging to you.' He handed her the parcel of letters.

He said he would follow me here

'You're a good girl,' the man said, rising quickly to his feet

Then, turning to his wife, he said, 'Quickly! Put out the fire!' While she poured water on the flames, the man broke the chair with his foot and told his younger daughter to break a window

'You are extremely generous, Monsieur,' Jondrette said, again bowing to the ground

'Oh, the poor child,' 'Ursula' said, seeing the girl's bleeding wrist.

Leblanc and 'Ursula' tried to comfort her, Jondrette approached his wife and said in a whisper, 'Take a good look at that man.'

'I owe sixty francs in rent,' he said.

'Five francs is all I have with me,' he said

'So it's you again,' he said almost fiercely

Marius,' she said at last, a faint light in her sad eyes, 'you seem upset

'You're making a mistake,' she said

Moving closer to her, he said, 'Do you know the address of those people who've just left your room?'

'Is that what you want?' she said, a disappointed look on her face.

'What will you give me?' she said at last.

He told the two girls to leave the room and then, when alone with his wife, he said, 'And I recognized the girl too

Straightening up, he said, 'Now do you recognize her?'

'Her?' said the woman, her voice filled with sudden hatred

'He said he'll be here at six o'clock, with sixty francs

'We'll know what to do about it.' And then, as he was going to leave the room, he turned to his wife and said, 'You know, it's lucky he didn't recognize me

'He's away,' the tall man said

'Everything's arranged,' he said

'Yes,' his wife said.

'Welcome, Monsieur, 'Jondrette said, rising to his feet.

'That is for your rent and food, Monsieur,' he said

Leblanc said, looking at the badly-drawn picture of a soldier in uniform.

'You don't recognize me, do you?' he said in a loud, clear voice.

Leblanc said

'A criminal?' Thenardier said, suddenly angry

'Never mind.' He sat on the bed next to the helpless but brave old man, and said, 'Let's discuss things quietly

Then he turned to the prisoner and said in a slow, threatening voice, 'What did you hope to gain by giving me a false name and address?'

'I'm not afraid of you,' he said

'So at last I've found you,' she finally said

'No,' said Marius.

Marius still said nothing, and after a moments pause she said, 'You don't seem very glad to see me, but I could make you look happy if I wanted to!'

'How?' said Marius

Finally, she said, 'I've got the address.'

'But you must promise me,' he said, 'that you'll never tell your father the address.'

They had only gone a few steps when Eponine stopped and said, 'You remember you promised me something?'

'I don't want your money,' she said.

Aware of the shape of the notebook under her dress, he said, 'So, you've read my notebook

When everything had been said, she laid her head on his shoulder and asked, 'What's your name?'

'My father said that we may have to leave,' she replied.

Marius rose to his feet and said coldly, 'Cosette, are you going?'

Marius turned his back to her and said, 'Then I shall have to go away.'

'Don't cry,' he said

'Why not?' Cosette said, drying her tears

'Please, Marius,' Cosette said as she watched him

'I promise,' Marius said.

But the old man finally raised his head and said, in a low voice, 'Show him in.'

At last! After four years! Was it really him? He wanted to open his arms and hug him, but all he said was, 'What have you come for?'

'I can't hear you,' the old man said, looking annoyed

'You're a young fool,' the old man said

'Who said you had to go away? You left me - your grandfather! - to join in those street protests against the government, I suppose

'So you said to yourself, "I'll have to go and see him, that old fool

'Tell me about it,' he said to Marius, who stared back with silent amazement, unaware that the word 'grandfather' was responsible for the change in the old man's behaviour

' he said, taking a purse from a drawer and putting it on the table

'You must enjoy yourself when you're young,' he said

He then turned slowly to the old man, bowed deeply and said, 'Four years ago you insulted my father

When the man said nothing, Enjolras became suspicious.

'You're a policeman, aren't you?' he said.

'My name's Javert,' he said.

'I'm at your feet,' the voice said.

'What are you doing here?' he said

'A soldier was going to shoot you,' she said, her voice no more than a whisper

'You poor child,' Marius said

She rested her head on his knee and said without looking at him, 'Oh, what happiness

'I can't cheat you,' she said at last

'Now you must promise me something for my trouble,' she said

Just as Marius thought that her sad soul had finally left her body, she slowly opened her eyes, and said in a voice so sweet that it seemed already to come from another world, 'You know, M

Oh, and one more thing before you go,'Valjean said when the boy had handed him the letter

'Now you can all leave,' he said.

'We mustn't let that happen again,' Enjolras said

'I haven't forgotten you,' he said, putting a loaded gun on the table

'Then, returning his attention to Valjean, he said calmly, 'I think you know me, too

'You're free to go,' he said.

'I find this embarrassing,' he said

'It's done,' he said.

'I'll make a bargain with you,' the man said.

'I'll give you this as well,' he said

'It's true,' he said at last

'Inspector Javert,' Valjean said quietly

'Will you help me to take him home?' Valjean said

'He's dead,' he said.

'Look,' he said, showing Javert the note with Marius's grandfather's address

When they had got back into the carriage, however, Valjean said, 'Inspector, will you do one last thing for me before you arrest me?'

'Go in,' said Javert, with a strange, distant look in his eyes

'He has just been brought here,' said a servant

'You heartless boy,' he said angrily

'I don't understand,' Marius said, almost speechless with amazement.

Having said this, the old man burst into tears

'Grandfather,' Marius said at last, 'I'm feeling much better already

Gillenormand said and, turning to Marius and Cosette, he added, 'My children, you are free to love one another.'

'The man was a hero,' Marius said

'I would give it all,' said Marius,'to find that man!'

Marius hugged Valjean warmly, addressed him as 'father' and invited him to lunch, but Valjean shook his head and said, 'Monsieur, I have something to tell you.'

Finally, in a state of shock and confusion, the young man said, 'Why have you told me all this? No one forced you to.'

'Don't worry,' Marius said at last

'I understand,' Valjean said, rising to leave

But at the door he half-turned and said, 'Monsieur, if you will permit me, I would like to come and see her

'You can come every evening,' said Marius

'Monsieur, you are very kind,' said Jean Valjean, shaking Marius's hand and leaving the room.

'I don't understand,' she said, becoming angry

'Cosette,' he said, 'your happiness is the only thing that matters to me

Marius had only read the letter quickly, and could not remember the details, so he said, 'Go on.'

Pontmercy,' the stranger said

'I know this secret already,' Marius said, 'just as I knew the others.'

'But I need to eat, Monsieur!' the visitor said, losing confidence

'I know it already,' Marius said

Pontmercy!' the man said, examining the note

Pontmercy is absolutely right,' he said, changing his voice

'Thenardier,' he said

Thenardier looked puzzled for a moment, then said, 'Monsieur, I think you are mistaken.'

'What! Are you denying what I said? Those are facts!'

'What proof do you have?' Marius said, wide-eyed with disbelief.

'I have all the proof here,' Thenardier said, producing an envelope in which there were several documents and newspaper articles

'He's a thief and a murderer,'Thenardier said quietly.

'He was carrying the body of a man he had robbed and killed,' Thenardier said

'You're a terrible man,' Marius said

'We must go to him at once,' Marius said

'Cosette, did you hear what he said?' Marius cried, tears of shame and guilt rolling down his cheeks

'What or whom would it have upset?' Marius said

Finally, he said, 'Yes, it would be delightful, but

'Your hands are so cold,' she said

'No,' said Valjean

Then, taking Cosette's sleeve and pressing it to his lips, he said, 'Come close to me, both of you

One day her mother made some cakes and said to her, "Go, my dear, and see how your grandmother is doing, because she has been very ill

The poor child, who did not know that it was dangerous to stay and talk to a wolf, said to him, "I am going to see my grandmother and carry her a cake and a little pot of butter from my mother."

"Does she live far off?" said the wolf.

"Well," said the wolf, "and I'll go and see her too

The wolf said to her, hiding himself under the bedclothes, "Put the cake and the little pot of butter upon the stool, and come get into bed with me."

She was greatly amazed to see how her grandmother looked in her nightclothes, and said to her, "Grandmother, what big arms you have!"

You are here because when Miss Lee saw her younger sister, she took a pair of scissors from her kitchen table, said something to her sister and left the house

The words she said were 'I will kill him,' but the defendant says she does not remember that

Both times she had the scissors with her, and both times witnesses testified that she said 'I will kill him.'

The friend, Mr Harris, says that Miss Lee did not say anything to Mr Dawson and that the only thing Mr Dawson said was 'Hello'

It was something stupid: something he said or did.

Jesus, is this it? Did he really do something to that girl? More than hit her once? Did he do what they said on the radio? Was she dead?

And he remembers the last thing she said before she closed the door to the hotel room.

"You said it was easy!" Brandon calls out into the forest of silent trees that surround him, his voice full of emotion

"You said no one could get hurt!"

"You said it was easy!" he shouts again and recalls the first time his brother had told him about the plan.

"Listen to me," his brother said at a dark table in the corner at the Lake Louise Inn

"What?" his brother said, his eyes full of anger: "You think I do? Idiot, we won't hurt anyone

"Brandon," his brother said, "I know you need the money

"Sally left me last month," he said, and he called the waiter for another beer

Every year" Greg said, "hundreds of tourists come here, right? Most of them are rich, and some of them are very rich

On that first day Brandon said no to the plan

On the second day he said no again

So, on the fourth day he said yes.

"How? How can they know where we are?" said Greg

"You said it was easy," he says.

"Your chief inspector said you could help

I came here to tell Mr Cliff what the headmaster said about the argument."

Only, Fletcher said something about Miss White: something no gentleman should say

Junior said that to walk there was stupid, because they had a car, and despite all of Owen's arguments, the teenager did not change his mind.

Junior does not like sports, he does not run, and the last time he came to the forest with Owen, he said that he was too cold and that the forest was boring.

"These were your granddad's guns," he said to him in the kitchen

Everything you said about me is right

"Coz the newspapers said it

They said none of the victims looked like they tried to fight

And the old woman takes a long, thin knitting needle from her bag, and Sarah remembers what the kid said on the tube...

"Urgh!" she said

"My mom says the packing equipment is broken," said Sala

"So they're just getting wet for no reason?" said Niki

"Hey," said Cham, as she joined him

"Fantastic," said Sala, taking off her wet boots

"Hey!" said Cham

"I love it," said Cham

"Oops, sorry!" he'd said

This is Pod Adventures," said the woman, in a friendly voice.

"Guess what," said Ding

"Oh yeah," said Palo

"I haven't heard anything," she said

"I think they're saying two years, at least," said Palo.

"People who want to earn money and energy units," said Ding

"Yes," said Palo

"Oooh, strange!" said Niki

"I'd hate it," said Sala

"Give this to your grandmother," she said, and then turned away.

"Must be something for Gran's garden," she said.

"Thank you so much, again," she said

"Good," said Cham

"Yes, yes," he said

It's nothing, he'd said

"It's a fruit of the wild rose," she said in a low voice, touching it carefully

"So, where did it come front?" Gran, still pale, said nothing.

They did not want anyone going into the contaminated world beyond - it was much too dangerous, they said.

"Your house near the beach?" said Sala

"That's right," said Gran

Great-Uncle Eston, right?" said Sala

Well, that's that, then," said Gran

"So, tell me about your day," she said, over her shoulder

"Oh, Gran!" said Sala

"Well, it's good to be generous," she said

Years ago, before the Oil Wars," said Gran

"Who knows?" she said

"Hey," she said

"But that's the problem," said Cham

"Cham," said Sala

"And you said you were interested, to get this special offer?"

"You said you hated the idea

"Of course," said Sala

"I'll buy these," said Sala

"Hey," said Sala

"Sorry," said Cham, looking back at Sala hurriedly

Because I said I was interested."

"Last night, you said it was just to get the second pod experience!"

I'm really sorry I got so angry," she said

"Don't use any energy units for me - I'm not bothered," said Sala.

"I don't want to argue again," said Sala

"But Cham," she said, "what if there was a better future - something completely different?"

"Gran said she thought it had come from..

maybe," said Sala

"I wish someone else in your family could do the pod thing," she said

"Sala," said Cham, "you know I'd love to help my parents

"I know what you said before, but..

But then she thought of her Gran, and what she'd said about Cham's situation

Studying at home helped with overcrowding, used less energy, and made teaching easier: well, that's what the government said.

"I'm jealous!" Niki said

"I suppose it seems to me like losing control," she said.

"Not really," said Sala

They had almost reached Sala's exit, so she gathered her things together and said goodbye to Niki

I'll see you again, the woman had said: well, then, there was really nothing to do but wait.

"We're like explorers from the past," she said.

"Take it easy, crazy girl!" said Cham

"Wow!" she said.

"I know," said Cham

"Here goes," said Cham, his eyes shining with excitement

"Sala! Sala, it's OK," said someone.

"Hey, Sala," said Zee, her voice soft and calm

"I don't feel strange," said Cham

"Sure it was me," said Cham

"We were communicating through our avatars," said Cham "It's so clever."

A bit too clever, said a voice in Sala's head: they'd been together, and yet not together; they were able to talk to each other, but sometimes experienced things separately

"You know what," he said

"You just said you'd like to do it."

"All right, Cham," she said slowly

"Yes, the breakdown has caused so many problems," said Mom

"Well, they say they're offering high-level studies, so that's obviously good," said Mom cautiously

"I don't think you can depend on that, Gran," she said

Gran said nothing more, but her eyes were shining

"Look at you!" said Sala.

"I know," said Cham, "but I think it's just stopping

"Cham, I've made a decision," she said, in a rush.

As soon as she said it, she wished she hadn't.

"It's a little bit crazy," said Cham

"Look," said Cham

I meant what I said." It was good to hear him say it again so clearly.

"Thank you," she said

"We have each other," said Cham

"Nope," said Sala.

"But I thought you said he was helping fix this problem at the meat laboratory," said Sala.

"He was," said Cham.

"I'm so sorry," she said

"Pod Life," she said.

"Sorry, Sala," said Cham

"Like I said, I don't know what else to do." Then he turned to her

Sala did as the woman had said: she turned and walked down the street

"Sala! You look like you've seen a ghost!" said Mom

"It's front the same woman," she said

"Yes!" said Sala

"What?" said Mom, putting down her cup of tea

"I think we need to be cautious," said Gran

"The woman said she would find me again soon," said Sala

"Well, that's good," said Gran

"No problem," said Cham

"We don't know yet," said Sala

"Ouch," she said.

"Living in a pod isn't real," said Sala fiercely

"Hey, hey," said Cham softly

We're delighted you've come," he said, smiling brightly

"You don't plan to sign up?" The way Leti said it, it sounded like an accusation.

"You can see some of it," he said

"That's our name for everyone who signs up," said Leti

"We think it's quite generous," he said

"So," Leti said, "we've been over everything now

"Yes," they said.

"Excellent," said Leti

"Place your hand on the screen, one at a time," said Leti.

"Now it's your turn," Leti said to Cham.

Accepted," said Leti

"I said don't look at me."

"When I leave, follow me," said the woman

"Come in, come in," she said

"We turned it off," said the woman

Come and sit," she said.

"What's this all about?" said Sala

"I can't tell you everything," said Wena cautiously

"Why are you talking about it with me, then?" said Sala

"We tested you first," said Wena

We needed to hear what she said

What you all said."

"We've been really careful!" said Sala

"Control?" said Sala.

"Like I said

"Wena?" said the man

"Ten minutes," said Wena.

"That was Oban, our leader," said Wena

"She'd love to leave!" said Sala

Keep very, very quiet, Wena had said

"So, come on, then," said Cham

"I want to believe it," he said

"It is real, though," she said

"I just wish you'd change your mind about Pod Life," she said, in a rush.

"OK," said Sala slowly

By the time, they had all said goodbye, and Sala had gotten home, evening had fallen

"Well, it's not!" said Sala

"Wait, wait!" said Mom

"My goodness! It's wonderful," said Gran

"Not without you," she said at last

"But we'd follow!" said Sala eagerly

"Well, Gran," said Sala, "maybe one day, when Cham comes out of the pod, and they've managed to break through the force field, we really will be able to go together

"Oh, come on, now," said Gran

"Remember what we said," she whispered in his ear

"She wants to wait," she said

"OK," she said at last

"Wait," said Sala hurriedly

"OK," said Wena quietly

"I'm fine," said Cham

I'm learning to ski," said Cham

"Cham," said Sala.

not quite," said Sala cautiously

"My mom and dad are waiting to speak to me," said Cham

"There's not much," said Gran, handing Sala a little cup

"Of course you do, my love," said Gran, a little absently

"Of course," said Gran

"Oh dear, I didn't mean to suggest that," said Gran.

"I don't want you to take any risks," said Gran.

"You take after me," she said

She would find Wena, no matter what Cham had said

"Why?" she said

but it's so long since you last saw him, Gran," said Sala

Mom hadn't said anything yet

"Cham has a point," she said slowly

"I think I could test this," she said

"I won't," said Mom

"Hey, Sala," he said

During my free time," said Cham

"Yes, you are," said Cham cheerfully

He said it so lightly that Sala wasn't sure she'd heard right

"The letter from Gran's brother." The words slipped out before she could stop herself, and she knew at once that she shouldn't have said it

that! I remember now," he said

"Cham, you're talking such nonsense," she said, laughing

Well, I guess that's OK," said Cham

"That was nothing," said Sala hurriedly

"Glad to hear it," said Cham

"I'll think about it," said Sala, suddenly afraid of what else he might say.

"Hey, hey," said Mom gently

"All right, all right," said Gran gently

"He comes out for tests in a couple of weeks, doesn't he?" said Mom

But maybe they've noticed he's different, too," said Gran

"I'm going over there," said Sala

"How lovely to see you, Sala," said Dani

"It was good to talk to Cham just now, wasn't it?" said Dani.

"Mmmm," said Sala, looking down at her tea.

"He's having lots of fun," said one of his sisters

"I think your mom and dad would miss you," Sala said to his sister

"Oh, he's having a wonderful time," said Dani

he said he might want to stay in the pod, after the two years," she said

"Oh, Sala!" said Dani, in a bright, sincere voice

"We're so grateful to him," said Dani, in a dreamy voice

"We will bring Cham here to you," said Odem.

The pods are a great invention," he said, in a strangely mechanical voice.

I'm sure you'll learn so many interesting things," she said encouragingly.

"Actually, I'd really like to talk to Cham about his studies," she said

I should think so..." said Tian

"Not at all," said Cham

"Come on, girls," said Tian

If you're in here, I'll know they can't reach you," he said

"I can't help it," he said

"So he says it's for your own protection," said Gran bitterly.

"It's not his fault," said Mom quietly

"I'm not blaming him," said Sala miserably

Cham doesn't know much about the rebellion, does he?" she said

"But he knows about the letter from Eston," said Gran

"Nothing, nothing," said Gran.

"If the government comes here, they won't find anything," said Gran

"Of course they won't," said Mom

"I'm so sorry I told him," she said guiltily.

"It's not your fault, Sala," said Gran

"Anyway, we don't have a clue where the rebels are," said Gran

"Gran," she said, "you remember what you said last night, about the Oil Wars? You said..

I'm still in perfect health!" said Cham

"Oh, that's so good to know," said Dani.

"Well, I can recommend it," said Cham, looking straight at Sala

"Actually, I've got something to tell you all," she said slowly

"Not immediately," said Sala

With her new strength of mind, she didn't think about the tears and hugs as she'd said goodbye

'There isn't one well-known person here,' she said in her loud voice

'It's Max de Winter,' she said to me

'No, you are my guests,' said de Winter

'I recognized you at once,' Mrs Van Hopper said

'You are wrong, I could never forget you,' said de Winter in a cold, hard voice.

'You mustn't keep your dressmaker waiting,' he said.

'You must have a drink with me,' she said

'I'm sorry,' de Winter said quickly

'What a strange man Max de Winter is,' said Mrs Van Hopper when we were standing in the lift

No answer,' I said.

'I'm sure I could look after Mrs Van Hopper,' I said

But the doctor said no

'You can't sit here now,' he said

'Lay another place at my table,' de Winter said

'Oh no,' I said

'Why not?' he said

'I'm sorry,' he said politely

'You were not rude,' I said

'I think it's because of Manderley,' I said

'Your friend is very different from you,' he said at last

'Mrs Van Hopper is not my friend,' I said

'But I've enjoyed this hour so much,' de Winter said

'An empty house, even a very beautiful one, can be lonely,' de Winter said.

But instead he said, 'Well, I suppose you have a holiday this afternoon

'I'll drive you there in my car,' de Winter said

'Do you know this place?' I said

'It's getting late, shall we go home?' I said

'I'm sorry,' he said

'You can take the book and look at it, if you like,' de Winter said

'Out you get,' he said, 'I must put the car away

'It was dreadful,' she had said

'You haven't got enough to do and so you are doing nothing,' she said unpleasantly

'If only we could keep our memories like scent in a bottle,' I said one day

'And what moment would you like to keep?' de Winter said with a smile.

Then I said quickly, 'I'd like to keep this moment and never forget it.'

'I wish,' I said angrily, '..

'You would not be in this car now if you were like that,' he said.

'Why do you ask me to come out in your car, day after day?' I said

I had said the words, at last

'A little while ago, you said you wanted to keep your memories

'I want to go home now,' I said.

'To hell with this,' he said and put his arm round my shoulders

When we had finished our game, Mrs Van Hopper said, 'Tell me, is Max de Winter still in the hotel?'

He comes into the restaurant sometimes,' I said.

'He's an attractive man,' she said, 'but not easy to know

'What a strange child you are,' Mrs Van Hopper said

'I've got used to it,' I said.

'What are you doing in there?' she said

'You haven't got a cold, have you?' said Mrs Van Hopper when she saw my face.

'No,' I said, 'I don't think so.' I tried not to look at her.

'I hate waiting around when everything is packed,' Mrs Van Hopper said bad temperedly

'What do you want?' he said

'I've come to say goodbye,' I said

'Why didn't you tell me about this before?' he said.

'Sit down,' he said

'So Mrs Van Hopper wants to go home,' said Maxim

'Please don't joke about it,' I said

'I'm not joking,' said Maxim

'You can't marry me,' I said at last

'What do you know about Manderley?' Maxim said

'The idea doesn't seem to please you,' Maxim said

'I do love you,' I said, 'I do

When I said this, Maxim laughed and put his hand over mine.

It's a pity you have to grow up,' he said.

'I haven't done this very well, have I?' Maxim said

'Am I going to tell Mrs Van Hopper or are you?' said Maxim with a smile.

'You tell her,' I said

'I'm forty-two,' he said

'Oh, no,' I said

'I think I'll talk to her alone,' Maxim said

'Of course,' I said

'I'm afraid it's all my fault,' he said and then he shut the door

Maxim had not said anything to me about love

He had said we would get married

But he had not said that he loved me

'Everything is all right,' he said

Maxim was smiling, but he said nothing about being happy

He said nothing about love

'Well,' she said, 'you are more clever than I thought

'It was lucky for you that I was ill,' she said

'He's only forty-two,' I said

'Of course,' she said, 'you know why he is marrying you, don't you? He's not in love with you

'Feeling better?' said Maxim, looking at me

'Only two more miles,' said Maxim at last

'Here we are,' Maxim said

'You mustn't mind if people stare at you,' Maxim said

'What's the matter?' I said

'I'm sorry,' Maxim said

'Well, here we are, Frith,' said Maxim

'Yes, thank you, sir,' said Frith

'Mrs Danvers' orders, sir,' said Frith.

'I thought so,' Maxim said

'Come on,' he said to me

'This is Mrs Danvers, our housekeeper,' said Maxim

I remember nothing of what she said

'Excuse me, Madam,' he said

'What do the rooms in the east wing look like now?' he said.

'Oh, nothing much,' said Maxim

'I hope I haven't kept you waiting,' I said.

'It is my duty to wait for you, Madam,' Mrs Danvers said

'You can't see the sea from here,' I said, turning to Mrs Danvers.

'I'm sorry about that; I like the sea,' I said

'I suppose you have been at Manderley for many years,' I said.

'Very well,' she said

'I would rather leave it to you, Mrs Danvers,' I said

'Mr de Winter said you would rather be on this side of the house

'Well, what do you think?' Maxim said to me

'Thank you, sir,' she said

'I love the rose-garden,' he said

'I expect we'll get on well when she knows me better,' I said

'Not like you? Why shouldn't she like you?' said Maxim and he came across the room and kissed me gently.

'Let's forget about Mrs Danvers,' he said

'I always get up early here,' he said

They're coming today?' I said, feeling less happy than before.

'Of course not,' I said

'Oh, Frith,' I said awkwardly, 'I could not find any matches

'The fire in the library is not usually lit until the afternoon, Madam,' he said

'Oh no,' I said

'Thank you, Frith,' I said

'You go through the drawing-room to the morning-room, Madam,' Frith said, watching me

'Thank you, Frith,' I said

'Who is it?' I said

'Mrs de Winter?' said a hard, deep voice, 'Mrs de Winter?'

'I'm afraid you have made a mistake,' I said

I suddenly realized what I had said.

'It's Mrs Danvers, Madam,' said the voice

'I'm so sorry, Mrs Danvers,' I said

Thank you, Mrs Danvers,' I said.

'I lost my way,' I said, 'I was trying to find my room.'

'This is the west wing,' she said

'No, no thank you,' I said

'It's very kind of you, Mrs Danvers,' I said

'Major and Mrs Lacy have been here some time,' she said

'Yes, Mrs Danvers,' I said

'Here she is at last,' Maxim said

She shook hands with me and said to Maxim, 'She's quite different from what I expected

'I haven't seen much of it yet,' I said

'My dear, the water is always far too cold here,' said Beatrice.

I realized what I had said

'You know,' she said, 'you are much younger than I expected

'Don't answer,' she said

'It was rather a shock to us too,' Beatrice said

'Maxim said in his letter that you were very young and pretty

He had a terrible time,' Beatrice said

'She frightens me a little,' I said.

'We must be going,' she said

'I'm afraid we're going to have some rain,' he said

As I said before, you are not what we expected

'Thank God that's over,' he said

Had Beatrice said something to make him angry? I could not remember.

'Just a moment,' I said

'There are plenty of raincoats downstairs,' Maxim said

'I soon get tired of my family,' Maxim said

I was not sure what Beatrice had said and I thought it better not to ask.

'I think I did most of the talking,' I said

She said I was quite different from what she expected.'

'I suppose he's used to it,' Maxim said quickly

'There,' said Maxim, 'look at that.'

'We call it the Happy Valley,' he said.

'It is a surprise, isn't it?' he said

'Fetch it, good boy,' he said

'He was by that rock a minute ago,' said Maxim.

'Do you hear that?' I said

'Come back,' Maxim said sharply, 'we don't want to go that way.'

'I must get him,' I said

'He's all right,' said Maxim

'Bad weather, isn't it?' the man said with a stupid smile.

'It's not very nice weather,' I said

'He's Mr de Winter's dog,' I said kindly

The man said nothing, but stared at me in the same stupid way.

'I saw you go in there,' the man said

'No,' I said

'I'm sorry,' I said

'The door should be locked,' Maxim said

'Come on, Jasper, for God's sake,' said Maxim angrily

'Pull at that string, can't you?' he said to me.

'It's your fault,' I said, 'you walk so fast.'

'Why should I run after the damned dog?' Maxim said, not looking at me.

'Please, Maxim, please,' I said

'We should have stayed in Italy,' Maxim said

'We want tea at once,' said Maxim

'Is this yours, Madam?' he said.

'Don't be angry with me any more,' I said.

'I'm not angry with you,' he said.

'Do you?' he said

'What is it, darling?' I said

'Pour me a cup of tea, darling,' he said to me

At last she said,

I smiled and said, 'We have not decided

'Yes,' I said

I had said her name at last

'Rebecca.' I had said it aloud.

'She was so good at everything too,' I said

'She looked after everything in the house, too,' I said

'I have been hearing about the Fancy Dress Ball, Frank,' I said

Then he said, 'The Manderley Ball was held every year

'It must have been a lot of work,' I said

'We all helped,' he said.

'I went into that cottage in the bay a few days ago,' I said

'Yes,' Frank said.

'Yes,' said Frank, quietly

'Frank,' I said, 'I'm sorry I asked you all those questions

'Mrs de Winter, you mustn't think that,' said Frank, looking at me for the first time

Tell me, Frank,' I said

'Yes,' he said slowly

I decided to put my new books in the library and I said nothing about the cupid.

'Could I speak to you, sir?' he said

'Perhaps it was one of the maids,' said Maxim

'Oh dear,' said Maxim

'Very good, sir,' said Frith and quietly left the room.

'Darling,' I said to Maxim when we were alone, 'I meant to tell you before, but I forgot

'Don't be silly,' said Maxim angrily

'I'm so sorry,' I said, 'I never thought Robert would get into trouble.'

'Is it possible to repair the cupid, Madam?' said Mrs Danvers

'I'm afraid not,' I said

'What did you do with the pieces?' said Maxim.

'I never thought that Mrs de Winter had broken the ornament,' said Mrs Danvers

'I'm very sorry, darling,' I said

'Forget it,' said Maxim

'They can't find me very interesting,' I said

'What do you know about any gossip down here?' he said

'Perhaps I did a very selfish thing when I married you,' he said slowly

'Age doesn't matter,' I said

'How can I answer you?' he said

He is thinking about Rebecca, I said to myself

'Is anybody there?' I said.

'I think you should come out,' I said

'I'm not doing anything wrong,' he said

I didn't tell anyone,' he said.

'You're not like the other one,' he said

People will hurt you," she said

'No, of course not, Ben,' I said.

'Hallo, Jasper, old boy,' said a man's voice and Jasper ran back into the morning-room

'I beg your pardon,' the man said, looking down at me with a rather unpleasant smile

'I'm so sorry,' he said

'Maxim's very well, he's in London,' I said.

'Well, Danny,' the man said, 'aren't you going to introduce me to the new bride?'

'This is Mr Favell, Madam,' said Mrs Danvers.

'How do you do?' I said politely

'Now isn't that kind, Danny,' he said

Come and look at my car,' he said to me

'Dear old Manderley,' Favell said as we walked out of the house

'I'm very fond of Manderley,' I said.

'I have enjoyed meeting you,' Favell said, standing by his car

'No, all right,' I said awkwardly

'That's very kind,' he said

'Is there anything the matter, Madam? Are you feeling unwell?' Mrs Danvers said quietly.

'I will fasten it,' Mrs Danvers said.

'You opened the shutter yourself, didn't you?' she said

'I blame myself for the accident,' she said

'I come into these room and dust them every day,' Mrs Danvers said

'I don't know,' I said

Thank you,' I said.

'Well, my dear, how are you?' she said

'I'd like you to come very much, Beatrice,' I said.

'Well, my dear, here I am,' she said

'You don't look well,' Beatrice said

'Nothing,' I said

'No, I don't think so,' I said.

'Jack Favell?' said Beatrice slowly

'Oh well,' she said, 'I suppose he knows Mrs Danvers quite well.'

'Jack Favell is Rebecca's cousin,' Beatrice said

'I did not like him,' I said.

'I hope you won't be so thin next time I see you,' Beatrice said as she got into her car

The door was shut, but I could hear what he said.

Tell him I said so,' Maxim was saying.

'Oh, it's you,' Maxim said.

'I missed you so much,' I said

'Do you?' Maxim said

As we sat in the drawing-room eating cake and sandwiches, one of our visitors suddenly said to Maxim, 'Oh, Mr de Winter

'I haven't thought about it,' he said

'Oh, but you are wrong,' said another woman

'Well, I don't know,' said Maxim

'I don't mind the work,' said Frank, looking at me

'Yes, of course,' said a man, 'we all missed your wedding

'What about you? Would you like it?' he said.

'I think I rather like the idea,' I said with a smile.

'What will you wear?' I said to Maxim.

'What shall I wear?' I said

'All right,' I said

'Oh, Madam, it's so exciting,' she said

'I found this, Madam,' Mrs Danvers said

'No, Mrs Danvers, I don't want it, thank you,' I said quickly.

'So you haven't decided what to wear, Madam,' Mrs Danvers said in a friendly voice.

'I don't know,' I said

'Thank you, Mrs Danvers,' I said.

I said nothing to Maxim

'This is like old times,' said Beatrice, looking around

'Of course,' Maxim said

'I'm going to dress as an Arab,' said Giles

'What about you, Mrs Lacy?' Frank said to Beatrice.

'Don't ask her,' said Maxim

'It's quite simple really,' I said.

'What fun it all is,' said Beatrice

'You've got her to thank for it,' said Maxim, smiling at me.

'What's the time?' I said

'Give me the wig, Clarice,' I said

'Oh, Clarice,' I said

'It's me, my dear,' said Beatrice

'No, no,' I said, 'you can't come in

'Unlock the door,' I said to Clarice

'Beat the drum,' I said, 'and call out: Miss Caroline de Winter.'

'How do you do, Mr de Winter?' I said.

'What the hell do you think you're doing?' he said.

'It's the picture,' I said

'What is it?' I said

'Didn't you hear what I said?'

'It doesn't matter, Clarice,' I said

'I don't know,' I said

'My dear,' she said, 'are you all right?' I put a hand up to my head and took off the wig

'Of course I knew at once that it was a mistake,' Beatrice said
