... But mostly because in her nature there was something forcing her to be happy. She was born to be, and that will not change. Ross thanked the Lord for it. However much she lived, wherever she went, she always will be full of interest to what he loves, and will still improve their environment, working and raising children...

... And when these people in the quiet, frosty air sang the Psalms, it made an impression. When they fell silent, and before the movement began, every time there came a brief silence, and heard the distant sound of the sea. In the end, Mr. Rogers found that he would have to make the funeral the face of over three hundred people filled the Church and stood in the courtyard.
It was this unexpected tribute to broke Ross. Everything else he did. Not being a religious man, Ross possessed an inner strength to survive the loss of a child, but his own wounded willpower. Inwardly he rebelled against Providence and circumstances, but the extreme violence of the strike left an imprint on his character, making him even more hard and stubborn.
What Demelza will probably not survive now caused him a rush of gratitude. Loss too stunned and shocked. When the mother of the child took him to Church, he repeated the Psalm, which said:
"If today you hear the voice of God, don't be stubborn". But when mother died, even when he was crying, something rebelled inside to protect it from its own weakness, tenderness and fragility. He thought, "Well, I lost her and was left alone. So be it". Today he behaved as a child, how people Mature.
But this strange silent testimony of respect and love expressed by all these simple hard workers and starving neighbors, the time to break away from fields, farms, mines, somehow broke through his defense.

His anger slowly faded, not disappeared, but has dropped to the proper level. Demelza couldn't stand his rudeness. What did he say? Or how he said it? Poldark became very unpleasant when they are contradicted.

- These moral calls me in the corner not to drive.
But moral appeals - the most effective force in the world, captain. In America, we defeated more of them than the force of arms.

- I think you'll agree that, although theoretically we honor the law, in life there are far more important things.
- For example?
- Friendship.
They rode in silence.
- The law doesn't recognize.
- I don't expect it from the law. I'm asking you to admit it.

Be careful with the law, captain. He's Moody and quirky, and it is possible to ignore a half-dozen times. But we need only to join him in the fight, as once it appears that it is as difficult to escape as from the black squid. Keep in mind, I share your point of view. After army life, the justice and the parish constables are annoying; I felt it, I swear...

I argue philosophically. I believe that this is a common way to think when you will soon turn thirty. A kind of protective mechanism, because the person becomes aware of loss - loss of time, dignity, ideals. I do not rejoice in what is left without a boat, but Ahan it will return no more than yesterday's youth.

It's better to risk than to MOPE all his life in the dreary comfort and safety.
