→'Well, what other young man of your position has wanted to do this? Quite different from standing by and taking an intelligent interest and encouraging the working inventor. It is somewhat akin to entering the forces without becoming an officer.' Ross put out one of the candles in an attempt to discourage the moth. 'Dear God, how consequential and old-fashioned this soundsl Pray don't think I agree with it; I am trying to explore my own motives and give them a public airing.'

→They were in the sea twenty minutes. The water was still cold for the time of year but its movement so boisterous that one came out glowing. And the sultry air dried them as they ran a mile up the beach and back. They collapsed at the entrance to their cave breathless and laughing, for they had just been able to avoid Beth and Mary Daniel coming along high-water mark picking over the flotsam of the tide. Both ladies would have been a thought indignant at the sight.

→'But you enjoy these things!'

→'It all seems a thought morbid to me,' said Clowance. 'Should we not concern ourselves with the living?'

→See he blubbers at his gills;

→Jeremy would have been surprised at this sentiment. He was not sure that his father was proud of him at all.

→'I'd feel strongly about anybody's slight of our son.' Ross said.

→'You're right - of course. Tis all true. Yet... I am proud of being a Poldark, if only by marriage. You're proud of it too, Ross; else you would not feel so strongly about the Trevanions' slight of our son.'

→'Then the world sees it wrong! They attach importance to a name. But we all have names! Because Poldark has owned property and Boscawen has owned property and de Dunstanville and Trevanion and the rest. .. Came and Smith and Carter and Martin and Nanfan . . . and even Paynter; we all come from the same stock in the beginning. That some have had the good fortune, or the cunning, or the skill to climb higher than the others and to continue to ride the wave through the centuries makes them no more deserving of awe, praise or reverence.'

→'That is not the way the world sees it.'

→'But what does it all matter? Who is to say that your ancestor was not here before mine? It is only what you are yourself that counts. Consider it: who has a longer descent than anyone else? Are we not all from Adam?'

→·Yes, well -'

→'1572. It's nothing, Demelza. Nothing. I've said this to you before. People who brag of their ancestors are like root vegetables. AH their importance is underground.'

→'Five hundred years is a long time. When did the first Poldark come over from France?'

→'At this moment, yes, for he thinks he has chosen. Of course he'll get over it. But I could kick that man's pretentious backside. Odious little frog. Telling Jeremy there had been a Trevanion there since 1313!'

→'In her common sense, yes, yes. But sometimes women are swayed more strongly by other feelings.' 'And men, for God's sake.' 'Meaning Jeremy.'

→'Don't you?’

→'I wish I had.'
