Rosemary's growing obsession with Dick Diver

The relationship between Rosemary and Dick Diver is escalating. She has now told him that she loves him from the first time she saw him twice, creating a strange dynamic between the two. She seems to be absolutely infatuated with him and his feelings are slightly unclear as of this time. Earlier in the book he was telling her how much he loved Nicole, his wife, but he also seems to be interested in Rosemary and invited her to Paris with him and Nicole.

Another strange element of this budding relationship is that Rosemary really likes Nicole. She does not despise her or envy her in the same way one may expect her to. On page 33 it says, "Rosemary saw her suddenly in a new way and found her one of the most beautiful people she had ever known." She also describes her as extremely likeable. Someone attempting to sabotage the marriage of two people rarely adores both of the people in the relationship as much as Rosemary does.

I am also very curious to find out what Mrs. McKisco found out about the Divers. She went to the restroom after Nicole and Dick had gone into the house. She came back claiming she had seen something, but commented that , "It's inadvisable to comment on what goes on in this house."
