Character: Ross Poldark. Page 1



But what does it all matter? Who can argue that your ancestors lived here before mine? Only matters who you are. Water think about it: whose pedigree is longer than the other? Aren't we all descended from Adam?
But society looks at it differently.
- So it looks at this all wrong! Name attach such importance! But all have names! Because Poldark own the property, and Boscawen own the property, and Dunstanville, and Trevanion, and others, Karna, Smiths, Carters, Martina and Infamy... And even painter, one day we all descended from a common ancestor. Someone was lucky or he was smarter, or had the ability to get up above the rest, and continued to climb up over the centuries, but that he didn't deserve more praise or honor.

People who boast ancestors as the roots. All their excellence - under the ground.

- I like to believe.
- And you do not believe?
- In its common sense, Yes. But women often capture feelings.
- As men.

-... What are you doing?
Demelza sneezed.
- Our birds found fleas. And it's not happy.
- The usual case.
Well, I'll take them black pepper. Until they had to grow up, stir it in warm water and wash chickens. This will kill all parasites.
- Where are you know?
I don't remember. In the morning, I suddenly came to mind.
- Sometimes I wonder whether you have another life? If you were only a miner's daughter who became mistress Nampara? In the end, how do you know about such things? About the treatment, "the skimpy tail" of the cow, for example. Often even you don't seem less Dwight know about how to treat ailments at home.

- You didn't give me advice, ' said Ross.
- About what?
- About what to do.
- This is unlikely to be in your power.
- Not completely, of course, but partly maybe. After the death of Harris Pasco is looking at me as his successor.
And you're asking my advice? Do I have the right to give?
- No doubt. You have suffered from George as much as me.
- But isn't the man to decide?
- Not now, dear.
Demelza looked at him.
- I'm not, dear. Just don't want to participate.
- Not to participate in an attempt to bankrupt George? The pressure on the Bank Warleggan?
- So, if you want to know my opinion.

- I told you not to go down in the Leger!
Not that I remember, father. Just remember, you don't much approve of.
In the eyes of Ross flashed irony.

- [...] But since you yourself were once a member of this history, it is better to stay away.
- Like Pilate.
I know. I always felt sorry for Pilate... but not Caiaphas. And not Judas.
- Although you often remember it when you swear.
- I? - Demelza raised her gaze on him. Again, you mock me.
- Just because you're my better half. And I have it to spare.

Competing Bank is enough to do something, and the panic will start by itself.

Revenge is a lousy counselor.

Ross lifted her hand to his face.
- You do listen? asked Demelza after a while.
He burst into laughter.
- Okay, you caught me. Yes, I listen to something - your heart beating.
- So not very convenient.
Ross slowly leaned over and put his head on her left breast.
- It is there.
He released her hand and cupped her breast with his palm.

- After tonight, you're probably exhausted.
- That's for sure... But how do you think, do I not remember being away from home?
- I hope so.
- Do you think I don't remember that night, when I returned from Saul after catching sardines? Then everything was different. That night I fell in love with you. First it was only physical attraction... But without feelings is nothing. Should not even remember. Just a miserable race. Fortunately, since then between us, this was not.

- What now? asked Ross.
You said it right, though not quite. What happened today between us - not normal. Our senses have long had to cool off become calmer. And I feel like the first time you took me to bed in this room. I remember wearing the dress your mother.
- You seduced me.
And when it was over, it wasn't. You lit another candle.
- Wanted to get to know you in the morning.

Since you did me the great honour of asking my opinion, I will say I was deeply saddened, watching as the first decade of the new century ends with the complete humiliation of England, it is the renunciation of many Nations of Europe, waiting for our help. But it is you, your Highness, must take responsibility for the choice of the further destiny of their country. And we, your subjects, take your pick. As, however, and the story.
