After all, he was little more than a boy, and Malcolm remembered this and was patient.
On Sunday afternoon, as they were coming out of chapel, Dinah said suddenly, "I quite forgot to tell you that Mr.Rossiter has been at the Manor House again, and has seen Leah, and quite approves of the arrangement with Mrs.Richardson.He is going back to America, and has promised to keep an eye on Saul Jacobi.

He was quite confidential with Leah." "He is rather intimate with them," returned Malcolm; "indeed, I believe he is in love with the fair Rebekah himself"-- for he had never forgotten Elizabeth's name for her.

"Hugh Rossiter is a fine fellow, and would suit her a hundred times better than poor old Cedric.

Oh well, he is too cunning a hunter to make a false shot, but I have a notion that he will try again some day;" and then Cedric came out and joined them, and they walked back to the lodgings.
Malcolm was going back to town that evening, and when Cedric had left them Dinah talked a little about her future plans.
"Cedric is so much better," she said, "that I think I can go home next week.

He will follow me in another fortnight, and I do not like leaving Elizabeth so long alone." "I think you told me that she was worried about Mr.Carlyon ?" returned Malcolm with manifest effort.
"Yes, indeed, and she may well be," replied Dinah with a sigh.
