VHD Rebecca Ch 16

What does this chapter start with?

• a huge storm that tears up the trees, shutters, and the Happy Valley
• a huge fight between Maxim and Mrs. de Winter
• a stalking session between Mrs. de Winter and Mrs. Danvers
• a barrage of unexpected guests

What was Lady Crowan adamant about reviving?

• the fancy dress ball at Manderley
• the tradition of having a dance to honor a new bride
• the beach party held every 4th of July
• the boat races from Manderley to Kerrith

"I tell you what. I'll give you and Frank the surprise of your lives, and you won't know me." What is this referring to?

• the costume Mrs. de Winter will wear to the fancy dress ball
• the makeover she is going to Paris to get next week.
• how grand she will be at hunting and gaming after she finishes her lessons
• how famous she will be once she finishes her next painting

When Mrs. Danvers finds the tossed sketches, what suggestion does she make?

• Maxim and Mrs. de Winter should take a holiday together.
• She should mind her own business when it comes to her and Favell.
• She should look at the pictures in the gallery for costume inspiration.
• She should sketch more often because she needs the practice.

At dinner, Mrs. de Winter imagines Rebecca getting a phone call from Favell and how that situation would play out. Maxim witnesses her deep in these thoughts and does not like it. Why?

• She looked like she had a certain type of knowledge he did not want her to have.
• She looked like Alice in Wonderland.
• She absentmindedly chewed with her mouth open.
• He thinks she was mocking him with her odd movements and thoughts

What did Mrs. de Winter finally decided to make a costume of?

• one of the paintings in the artbooks Beatrice gave her
• a portrait of Caroline de Winter in a white dress and hat
• the wedding dress that she really had wanted to wear for her wedding but didn't get to
• she reproduces a dress she found in an old catalog that Beatrice had kept

Who excitedly helps Mr.s de Winter dress for the ball?

• Mrs. Danvers
• Beatrice
• no one
• Clarice

How is Mrs. de Winter's entrance to the fancy dress ball announced?

• via a drum roll
• via a trumpet fanfare
• Frith calls her forth and announces here
• Some loud chords on the piano are played

What was Maxim's reaction to Mrs. de Winter's costume?

• He was motionless, stared at her, his face turned ashen white, and his eyes blazed with anger.
• He nearly passed out.
• He had a heart attack on the spot and died right there at the bottom of the stairs.
• He laughed the best belly laugh, and said it was the best surprise!

What did Mrs. de Winter ironically keep saying about her costume that turned out to be foreshadowing and true?

• It was incredibly clever just like she said.
• It gave Maxim the surprise of his life, just like she said it would.
• It made Maxim proud that he married her she was so gorgeous like she said she would be.
• She said it was a secret, and it was.
