REBECCA - CHPATER SIX

I left no jagged edges and the book looked white

and clean when teh page was gone

it curled outwards for a momen

becoming larger than ever

I went and

washed my hands in the basin

January the 1st…

The door opened and he came into the room

Get thee behind

me, satan

I must never think about that,

never, never, never

original proposals

wer emuch better

Not like younger men who talked nonsense probably

not meaning half they said

here Is ay we have lived

we have been happy

The house sheletered us, we poke, we loved within those walls

that was yesterday, today we pass on

i think how in that moment I have aged, passed on,

how I have advanced one step towards an unknown destiny

No, I’m asking you to

marry me, you little fool

Instead of being companion to Mrs Van Hopper you become mine, 

and your duties will be almost exactly the same
