Can someone please find quotes from the novel Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier...?

..that relate to the statement "People are not always the way the seem at first." Thank you so much!

Can someone please find quotes from the novel Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier...?
The first sentence is among the most famous first sentences for novels in history. It immediately tells you things are not as they seem.

They're, Their, There - Three Different Words.





Careful or you may wind up in my next novel.

Reply:There is a quote from Mrs. Danvers when the new Mrs. De Winter is trying to come up with a costume for her fancy dress ball: "I wonder you don't copy one of the pictures in the gallery" which seems innocuous enough. It isn't. She continues with "All the pictures in the gallery would make good costumes, especially that one of the young lady in white, with her hat in her hand." (chapter 16)





Another thing that shows it's not as it seems at first (it initially seems that Rebecca's and Maxim's marriage was perfect %26amp; they were the perfect couple %26amp; he never got over her death) is when Max says "Rebecca has won," in chapter 19 after they find the sunken ship with a body. I don't want to add a spoiler, so I'll only suggest that you keep reading that chapter after that quote. There are things that you learn that aren't what they first seemed.
