When Maxim, Colonel Julyan and Frank check up on the number they find that it is that of a retired doctor, working in London. Mrs Danvers confirms that Rebecca never had much to do with doctors. They decide to drive to London the following day and see what information they can glean from him about what has happened.
Mrs De Winter is terrified, believing that Rebecca knew she was pregnant and that was why she was consulting a doctor. That that will reveal the motive for Maxim losing his temper and killing her.. that she told him she was pregnant by another man but was planning to pass the child off as his.
Col Julyan is obviously worried, wanting to sympathise with Maxim but having to do his duty as a magistrate. He tells the de Winters that he will accompany them the following day. Favell insists on coming as well.
Mrs De Winter passes a terrifying night, afraid that the next day will bring things to a climax and that Maxim's motive for murder will be revealed. She and he set off the next morning for London, followed by Jack Favell.
When they get to North London, they find the doctors house, and explain that Jack as Rebecca's cousin was not satisfied with the verdict at the inquest. The doctor tells them that he has a note of a Mrs Danver consulting him... so its obvious that Rebecca used a false name.
