Please help me with this question:

I need an answer by the end of the day.

"I have forgotten much of Monte Carlo, of those morning drives, of where we went, even of our conversation; but I have not forgotten how my fingers trembled, pulling on my hat, and how I would run down the stairs and so outside. He would be there, in the driver’s seat, reading a paper while , he waited, and when he saw me he would smile, and throw it behind him into the back seat, and open the door, saying,‘Well, how is the companion this morning, and where does she want to go?’ If he had driven round in circles it would not have mattered to me."

In this last paragraph, it becomes obvious that Mrs. de Winter has already feels alienated and detached in her new role. The romance and excitement are becoming a memory.... a fond memory, but the memory is being replaced by something else.
