////Oh, Caroline...

- Are you ill?
- A moment's giddiness.

- It'll pass.
- l'll get you something.

- Stop fussing.
- You rode over too fast.

Well, it seemed important
you should know of these riots.

Didn't you tell me that Ross
had been called for service?

Captain Poldark, Sir Francis.

Poldark, my dear fellow.
Good of you to come so quickly.

Armed men patrolling the grounds.
What is this? A military headquarters?

Surely you saw the riots on your way?

l saw rioters singing snatches of hymns.

At least, l assume they were rioters.

They looked more in need of a meal
than a bullet.

As you know, l hold the King's
authority to maintain order.

- Yes, of course.
- As the principal landowner,

l also have the right and
the duty to put down anarchy.

That is how you regard the riots -
as anarchy?

What else? When mobs
threaten the laws of the land.

l agree it's not pretty but...

Today, 6,OOO miners
took by force from the millers

corn which did not belong to them.

Corn they could not afford to buy.

- They raided houses.
- They were starving.

- Attacked those stopping them.
- Millers guarding their profits.

They are liable to repeat it tomorrow
unless food arrives.

- We must all eat.
- Have you forgotten the war?

We're all fighting for our lives!

Their behaviour
is little short of treachery.

The leaders must be arrested.

Yes, but we should not compound
violence with violence.

Sir, you are a servant of the crown
and l represent the crown.

ln times of civil disorder,

l may swear in whomsoever
l choose as special constables.

And if l should be unwilling?

Your divided loyalties
in these matters are well known.

Nevertheless, in this affair,
you have no choice at all.

Now,

there is a man called John Hoskins
who worked for you once, l am told.

l require him, sir.

You will take a party of men
and bring him to me, at once.

- What will happen to him?
- If innocent, nothing.

And if not?

That will be for the judges to decide.

We're going to St Ann's.

l hope he's there.
l want to get home.

Why are you not packing?

l told you, l'm not going to London.

No one speaks to me the way
you spoke to me before Drake Carne.

He should not have been in my house.

- He came to see me.
- He's of no concern to you.

No concern...

that my husband has been
terrorising a young man,

destroying his fences,
poisoning his well,

depriving him of his livelihood?
No concern?

lf he wishes to accuse me,
l shall answer him in court,

not in my house
through the agency of my wife.

Would you answer him in court,
George?

Of course.

- Though it won't come to that.
- Can you be so sure?

l am not responsible
for my servants' excesses.

Excesses?

At what point do they become excesses?

Where does your responsibility end?

l cannot remember the details
of my instructions.

That is not good enough!

You know that that man
is being harassed not for his own sake,

but because he is
the brother-in-law of Ross Poldark!

ls that not so?!

Elizabeth, l'll make a bargain with you.

Come with me to London
as arranged

and l will see the harassment ends.

lf only it were that simple.

l don't understand.

Can you not see?

This matter of Drake Carne
is but a symptom of our state...

You are talking nonsense.

l question the wisdom
not simply of travelling with you,

but of staying with you
another single night.

l am leaving you, George.

Hold him.

Let him go.

- Sorry, John.
- Damn you. How did you find me?

l've known you, John, all your life.
l know your every burrow.

l had to find you.

You run with the hunters now
'gainst hungry men?

Put him on a horse.

Tie him if you have to.

The rest of you can go free.

- What are you doing here?
- Just visitin'.

Go to your homes.

The excitement is over.

You were not serious in what you said?

Elizabeth, l am in torment.

You cannot know what torment.

l believe you are still in love
with that man.

Do you hear what l say?

Do you deny it?

And if l did, my denial would be
as meaningless as your question.

My feelings for Ross are not the source
of this suspicion, are they?

Then you don't deny it.

- You who command so many people...
- But l command you!

You cannot accept the simple truth
about your own son!

ls he my son?

ls he?

Listen to me and hear what l say.

l swear on this Holy Bible,
as a believing Christian

and in the hope
of my ultimate salvation,

that l have never given my body to any
man except my first husband, Francis,

and after him, to you.

ls that enough for you

or is my sworn oath
insufficient to convince you?

l don't want to lose you.

l cannot live without you.

Suspicion and jealousy
you may condemn,

but they are a measure of my love.

Then you must cease
to love me so well

for l can bear the other no more.

Forgive me, forgive me.

You should have seen them, Dwight.

Poor, half-starved devils,
shivering in the dark,

and the children, rioters?

- Drink it up.
- Haven't they the right to bread?

Basset sent for me also but l didn't go.

l wish l had your courage.

No question of courage.

You were there, l wasn't.

l should have been helping them,
not hounding them.

You? The man who never agreed
with democracy?

Decent sharing.

- You must fight for that.
- Politics again.

You still think l should've run
for Parliament?

Go home, Ross.
There's no point in blaming yourself.

Nampara is your life.

- Concentrate all your feelings there.
- That's easier said than done.

Why? You have a wife, your children.
You seek nothing more, you say.

Very well.
Hang on to what you've got.

ls that your professional advice?

l'm saying that what you have

is more important
than what you hanker for.

Carry on and l shall be tempted
to play the physician myself.

Meaning what?

l hide nothing from you, Ross.
What you see is what l am.

Just that in my case,
marriage came too late.

l was too desperate
to find what you already had.

You must have a child.

l think you would like a child
more than anything else.

She says it is her fault.

Well, she may be right.
l believe her to be anaemic.

And these dizzy spells...

She's not an easy patient.

Most of my potions
are tipped into the flowerbed.

Take her away.
You've never had a honeymoon.

- Perhaps next year.
- Take her away, man, now.

And if you're saying you envy me...

l'm not an envious man.
What l'm saying is

that sometimes
we must accept our limitations.

Your happiness lies in Demelza.

And yours in Caroline.

Perhaps we both need
another adventure in France.

God forbid!

l'm still repairing the ravages
caused by our last stay there.

l have undertaken to examine
Hugh Armitage next week.

- Armitage? Is he back?
- The Navy has discharged him.

There seems to be a general
agreement that he's going blind.

There's news
from the magistrates in Bodmin.

- Yeah?
- They'll get off with a talking-to.

- John Hoskins included?
- All, they do say.

Thank Almighty God.
There be justice in the world after all.

Hey...

Hey, where are you goin'?

Hold hard, young Drake!

Glory be, who's that?

Tholly Tregirls.
He was with us in France.

Desert an old friend, would ee?

- Tholly, me brother, Sam.
- Mr Tregirls.

Ah, Sam Carne.

Be ee the one my Emma's talked about -
the preacher man?

- The same.
- What went amiss wi' your face?

Somethin's cut your eyebrow, has it?

- Sam, you wrestle, Emma says.
- What of it?

l got six lads taking part
in Sawle Feast Thursday week.

l reckon you'd do well
for what l have in mind.

lf he be like his brother,
he don't wrestle, he run away!

Leave off, you stupid great loodle!

How's my old preacher?
Been praying much of late?

Every day for all men,
but especially for you.

Praying for she?!
l'll have no praying...

- Give over!
- Ah, give over.

Well, Sam, my boy.
What do you say to it?

- Wrestlin'?
- Aye, there be prizes.

- Money, an' all.
- Not for me.

l did give over
with the wrestlin' years ago.

l reckon he's forgotten how.
All this prayin' for lost souls.

- What l had in mind...
- Not for me.

Hey!

Hey, Sam Carne!

You don't wanna walk away
while Tholly's talkin'.

What l had in mind was a real feast
with wrestlin' and racin'.

ls your baby brother
allowed to wrestle?

- l don't fight three to one.
- l'll fight you any way you want.

Fists,

sticks, knives, one to one.

Why don't ee show him
who's master, Sam?

You should come to meetings.

You'd be better off prayin'
than thinking like that.

Maybe l would if you beat him.

Now, that's a prize.
The winner gets my daughter.

You mean that?
You'll come to meetings if l win?

How long?

Three months - but you gotta win.

What about me?
What happens if l win? You'll marry me?

Maybe. Maybe not.

- That's your worry.
- Come away. They don't mean it.

They do mean it!

Yes?

Well, drown me! That's grand.
A real prizefight.

- Best o' three falls.
- It'll be that all right.

Heard what the magistrate's done
to your friend, John Hoskins?

- Gave him a deserved lecturin'.
- Oh, no.

Not John Hoskins. He's for hangin'.

l'm gonna do the same for you
with my bare hands.

What happened, Ross?
Were things bad in Falmouth?

- Look, tell me about the riots.
- l do not want to discuss it.

- What do you want?
- 'Tain't right.

Comin' here this late,
but he's here just the same.

- What are you talking about?
- A visitor at this hour?

- 'Tain't right.
- Sam, don't you know the time?

lt's all right.
l think we have something to say.

- Can't it wait till tomorrow?
- Leave us.

Close up, Jud. Don't hang about!

Yes, sir.

Now explain to me what
you were doing there last night.

- John Hoskins be a friend.
- Were you one of the rioters?

l was minding me own business.

And l should have minded mine?
This was my business, remember.

Any other officer finding you hiding
would have taken you in.

We were not hiding.

- Then what were you doing?!
- Praying.

His wife and youngest
be dying of the fever.

Two days and three nights,
he was on his knees.

So much prayin'
be too much for one man.

l could have done something.

And for Luke's family?
And for Jed's and William's also?

Nay, but God would.

How is Hoskins' family now?

Half-in, half-out this life.

He will be back soon.
l heard the magistrates let them all off.

Not John. They take him.
Now they're going to hang him.

- Hang him?
- l said you ought to know.

God in heaven, are you sure?

He'll be in paradise afore his family.

No, he will not.

l'll go to Basset in the morning.
l'll stop this thing.

l'm sorry, l can do nothing.

The court has decided he must hang.

What difference will one man make?

That one man was the ringleader.
He deserved arrest.

- He's behind all the trouble.
- His family is starving.

l am aware of the distress
in the district

but a man cannot take the law
into his own hands.

Those administering the law
should show compassion!

My dear Poldark,
this matter was considered at the trial

and the sentence passed there.

- You could commute it!
- l cannot!

Nor would not if l could. It is the law.

Law without justice.

lt sickens me.

Justice is a changing thing.

lt is never easily won.
Laws are made in Parliament.

There is to be another election
in September. Did you know?

Pitt is dissolving this Parliament.

Empty words, empty talk.
What good does it do?

lf you think that, you must be content
to remain powerless.

Why not? Ask him to step this way.

l am sorry a shadow seems to
have come between us, Poldark.

l once thought we could have
been of service to each other.

- Mr George Warleggan.
- You know our sitting Member?

lf you are seeking a pardon,
it is useless to appeal to me.

That l believe. Compassion
was never your strongest point.

l am told my gamekeeper is to wrestle
with your brother-in-law at Sawle Feast.

Does he not know that Sid Rowse
is a champion?

- Past his best.
- Carne may not find him so.

- That remains to be seen.
- Care for a wager?

What would you suggest?
100 guineas?

- Agreed.
- On one condition.

That the money be used in
some way to benefit the miners.

Bravo. l shall undertake
the disposition myself.

Good. It's time your gamekeeper
was taught a lesson.

l was glad to find you at home.

l was told you intended
to return to London.

Personal matters intervened. Now...

What do you wish to discuss with me?

Would Lord Falmouth not help?

No doubt he would consider himself
above such matters.

We're to dine with him soon.
You could ask.

No, l've done with politicians.

My time will be best spent
with the lawyers in Truro.

At least all they demand is money.

But l've accepted the invitation.

- Then you must go alone.
- What?

No, you must.
The Falmouths will understand.

And it may help Armitage if you're there.

Dwight is to carry out his examination,
l understand.

- Well, if you really mean it.
- Of course l mean it.

Demelza...

There's something l've been
meaning to tell you for months.

When you asked about Elizabeth,
you were right. l have seen her.

- When?
- Many months ago, at Sawle church.

lt's the first time
l've spoken to her in years.

Do you still love her?

- Our meeting was...
- Do you?

Not in the way l love you.

But l do have an affection for her
and always will.

Why did you not tell me this before?

Would it have made a difference?

l don't know.

l suppose l didn't want to cause you
any anxiety.

Then why tell me now?

Because l want you to know
that l understand about Hugh.

We must try and trust each other.

That is why you must go
to the Falmouths'.

Mrs Poldark,
how good to see you again.

- Mrs Gower.
- And Caroline.

You look prettier than ever.

- Wedlock agrees with her.
- There speaks an authority.

l hope you'll have my nephew
restored for the election.

l need a young and vigorous candidate

to bring the constituency back to us.

Pe_ect health, my lord, is hard to attain.

We were jealous to hear of your visit
to the great seal cove.

Unfortunately, Mrs Enys,
there were no seals there. Not one.

- Then why ever did you go?
- To learn that for ourselves.

lgnore my nephew. He's such a tease.

l am sorry
your husband could not be here.

- l hear he had other business.
- Very important business.

- Concerning a man's life.
- So l have heard.

- The agitator, John Hoskins.
- Agitator, my lord?

Rather a man in need of charity.

These are difficult times for charity.

Men have been hanged for mutiny
in the Navy.

Should we be more lenient
to a civilian?

ls it right you should hang a man
merely for starving?

Me?

- It has nothing to do with me.
- Then l agree with Ross.

What use is political power
if it leaves you as helpless as l?

l do not know how Hugh will take
to Parliament after being at sea

even though he be elected.

l shall make the best of whatever life
presents. l've had few complaints so far.

That makes an admirable change -
an MP with few complaints.

Do you know whom Basset
is putting up with Warleggan?

l'm sure he has as little idea as l.
Good men are hard to find.

Well, you won't get my husband.
l'm not losing him to London.

Now, you can take Dr Behenna.
Nobody will miss him.

lf good candidates are scarce,
my lord,

why not settle your feud with Sir Francis
and agree on a mutual choice?

- Demelza, you've struck it.
- This is hardly a suitable...

Oh, Dwight. Let Demelza speak,
she has the answer.

Well, madam?

Sir Francis dined with us
some weeks ago.

He said he'd be willing
to reach a settlement.

- The devil he did!
- Well, well...

Did he say what he meant?

- Not exactly.
- But he is a man of his word.

We need an intermediary.

- l would do it.
- How could you as a candidate?

Nor can l agree to your going out yet.

- But time is so short, Dwight.
- Wait. My lord...

Will you dine with Dwight
and myself next week?

That's very good of you, ma'am,
but to what purpose?

Do not enquire the purpose,
then you will have no need to refuse.

l shall send my man round
at the end of the week with an invitation.

Look to the ceiling.

Now to the left.

ln France,
when this business first started,

l saw it as a sort of romantic
accompaniment to my scribbling.

Now the other eye.

To go blind while versifying in prison
was charged with the utmost romance.

To the ceiling.

Have you ever met
a more sentimental wretch?

To the...right.

Hmm.

Now, l confess,

l am sick with apprehension.

Ah!

There's no need to be.

Everything which seemed
desirable then on paper

pales beside the real thing.

ls it true that we...
we love most strongly

only when we are in danger
of losing everything?

Don't ask me. l'm not a poet.

Shall l tell you what l desire
more than anything?

No...

but l have a feeling
you will nevertheless.

A settled life. Wife, children.

l envy you, Dwight. l really do.

l have no children.

A clear view
of what lies before you,

not this muddled, confused discontent
l've gone in for.

l see no sign of a cataract.

Give me ten years of happy married life
to the woman l love

and l'll tell all the poets in the world
to go hang themselves.

Oh, that is too much!
You should've warned me!

Sorry. Forgot you were my partner.
Forgive me.

l saw what you were planning
but could not assist.

My brother plays cards
as he does everything -

with no thought for friends or enemies.

Ah, now this...

Oh, is it your head?
Perhaps it's the light. Let us move.

No, then l could not see you so well.

- l have little enough opportunity.
- Shh.

Now, this is one of my favourite pictures.

See how the artist has suggested
the light on the trees.

As a boy, l played
in a wood very like this.

Did you?

Ross!

- My dear boy.
- Ross.

Captain Poldark, how good to see you.

Excuse the intrusion. My meeting
with my lawyers finished early.

That's unusual for lawyers!

We were discussing
the fate of John Hoskins.

Yes.

Well, we're delighted
to see you, dear boy.

l will tell the servants
to bring you some supper.

What happened?

- He is to hang.
- Oh, Ross.

On the eve of Sawle Feast.

lt's all right. l'm not really a lion.
l'm only a player.

Urgh! What is this lying on the ground?

A bloody mantelpiece l have found.

Oh!

'Tis her pe_ume, l can tell.

She's been killed, done in,
oh, bloody hell!

Aw!

But if she has gone to heaven's door,
alone she shall not remain.

l draw out my trusty sword
and l stab myself.

Oh!

Again.

Ooh!

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Oh, look at that!
Mind your heads, there.

- Very good!
- Very clever!

Mr Whitworth. Mrs Whitworth.

- It is indeed a great pleasure.
- How nice to see you.

- Rowella.
- Dear Wenna.

You're looking very well.

- Well, Rowella?
- Mr Whitworth.

- l trust you're in good health.
- Yes, l'm quite well.

- And the, er...child?
- Child?

The child, Rowella, that you
carried before you left us.

Oh, you had no way of knowing.

- It was all a terrible mistake.
- Mistake?

l was very stupid.

Being inexperienced in these matters,
l mistook the signs.

- l wasn't with child after all.
- Not...

l am grieved l caused you trouble.

But in the end, it has all
turned out for the best.

Osborne.

Wrestling challenge contest!

Best of three falls.

Three three-point falls
for the prize of...two guineas!

He's as bulk-headed as a mule.
Watch when he hits you.

God'll decide it.

We're here to enjoy ourselves.
You did all you could for John.

Stand forward!

On my right, Sid Rowse.

On my left, Sam Carne!

Now, you know the rules.

And no kicking!

Get in there, Sid. Get in there!

Go, Sam!

Go on, Sam!

No wrestling on the ground! Up!

Right, now, stand by.

Go on!

First fall, Sid Rowse!

Right, stand by!

We know you can do it, Sam.

Come on, Sam!

Watch his hands there, Sam!

That's it, Sam! Hold him, now!

Ow!

Second fall, Sam Carne!

Right! Go to it, my beauties!

- Come on, Sam!
- Come on, Sam!

- Tregirls!
- Come on, Sam!

Someone should stop it.

Get him now, Sam!
You've got him now.

Come on now!
You've got him! Come on!

- Come on, Sam!
- Sam!

Come on! Come on, Sam!

l won! Ha ha!

He could've won that.
He should've done.

- What happened?
- He just seemed to give up.

l want my prize now!

What l would've done...

You owe me 100 guineas.

You forget the money
is to be sent to Basset.

l asked him...

l asked him, ''Sam, why did you
give up to Sid Rowse?''

Do you know what he said?

He said, ''lt come to me
when l was near to victory,

''it come to me to think of Christ

''and how he was tempted by
the devil and how he refused.''

Sam said that? Hm, sounds like Sam.

There's many in the village
that says it's cheating Sid won by.

Well, it's too late now.

l was to go with his Connection
for three months if he won.

- Really?
- Well, now l be all in the air.

l don't know what you think
l can do about it.

You be his sister.

When he's winning and he makes
the choice to lose to Sid Rowse

it is like he rejected me.

l know 'twas a joke but if he'd won,

l'd have kept my side of the bargain.

- You can still do that.
- l know!

But by not winning, it's like
he's thrown it back in my face.

Oh, l see. Yeah. Hm.

'Tisn't true what they do say about me.

- Eh?
- A man's never had me.

Yes, l've let 'em take liberties
but a man's never had me.

- Does Sam know that?
- l could tell him.

- His flock'd never believe me.
- You must talk to him.

Do he love me or just the chance
of winning me to chapel?

That's something
you must discuss with him.

Oh, Jud, what do you want?

There be a rider come
all the way from Dr Enys

with a message
for you and the Captain.

Message?

''What's awry?'' l said. ''What's amiss?''

''lmportant message,'' he said.

''ls it them Frenchies?'' l said.
''Damn the Frenchies!'' he said.

Jud, where's the master?

The last l see him, he were
playing with Master Jeremy.

- Go and get him right away!
- Yes, miss.

Sorry, Emma... And ask Prudie
to pack my night things.

- Yes.
- l'll be off anyway.

l ought not to be bothering you.
But love make folk do strange things.

ls there anything l can do?

l don't know.

l don't know if there's
anything anyone can do.

The brain fever struck
about three days ago.

Since then, it's hardly remitted at all.

As you can see, we're bleeding
him as much as we dare but...

- You had knowledge of this?
- It was as l had feared.

The eyes were but a symptom.

Demelza...is it you?

Your two dear friends
have come to see you.

And Ross?

Pretty picture, is it not?

To cheat the French
and then oneself be cheated.

Well...these little irritants
decide the battle.

Those little irritants have
already brought about an improvement.

Dear Dwight has been
most wondrous kind.

Five minutes?

l had hoped for ten years.

l'll settle now
for that number of minutes.

Dr Enys has been a great comfort,

a great comfort indeed.

And his wife as well.

l suppose you know
it was through her good offices

that Sir Francis and l
have reconciled our differences.

Prompted by your wife, l might say.

Extraordinary woman.

We've already had our meeting
to discuss the election next week.

Next week? l doubt Hugh will be
well enough to play his part.

Yes. l had already
raised the point to Basset.

lt might interest you to know
that Warleggan has been dropped.

George? Why?

Basset never approved
of some of his manoeuvres.

- Well, George will take it hard.
- No doubt. No doubt.

He thought he was born for Westminster.

He can still stand for election,

though without support
from Basset or myself.

As the sitting member, he'll get
a certain percentage of votes.

Much will depend on
who l choose to oppose him.

We must retain a strong government.

Well, l'm sure you'll find
some strong men in Truro.

- Well, pray, help yourself.
- l must see if my wife has returned.

l thought of offering you the nomination.

Oh, l know you've already
turned it down once

but Basset thought you might
have changed your mind.

- Basset!
- He suggested l talk to you.

l hardly think
you can be serious, my lord.

We're in accord
on the plight of England at war

but we've argued many times
about internal issues.

But we are at war, Poldark.

Do you not think it a time
to bury our differences

and direct our energies toward
some service for the nation?

''When l am gone,
remember this of me,

''that earth of earth
or heaven of heaven concealed

''no greater happiness
than was to me revealed

''by favour of a single day with thee.''

Who are you writing to?

Doesn't matter. l'll deliver
the message in person.

l'm going to Truro tomorrow.

Oh, Ross, must you?
You said nothing of it before.

l've only just decided.

Poldark? Poldark is to stand?

That is my information.

But...how dare he?

The man's a renegade and a criminal.

His French exploits have made
people forget his reputation.

As for the other, he was acquitted.

- Is he standing instead of you?
- No, Falmouth's sponsoring him.

No one will stand instead of me.
l'm the sitting member.

But you could be unseated.
And by a mountebank.

There are other candidates.
Poldark is not my only rival.

He's your most dangerous rival.
He's popular and influential.

That is why we must line up
our supporters with great care.

l want you to take charge of this for me.

You must make sure where
we stand with the Burgesses.

Ah. How do you do?

That's Trengrouse,
Warleggan's other nomination.

Don't concern yourself.

lt's not obligatory
to shake hands with an opponent.

Excuse me.

You're in the mood
for the contest, l fancy.

You do realise if you win,
you'll go to London immediately

and may not return for months.

- l welcome the prospect.
- And your wife?

- She will not accompany me.
- There you are.

Ah! Have you met my
brother-in-law, Captain Gower?

- Poldark.
- Captain Gower.

My other nominee. You and he
will make a fine combination.

He with his experience of Westminster,

you with your preference for a fight.

You make it sound like a marriage.

Who is, er...Basset sponsoring?

No one. That was part of
his agreement with me.

You can see now how much
you owe Mrs Enys and your wife.

Warleggan's
father's keeping busy.

They say he's brought pressure to bear

on any of the Burgesses that
owed them money or a favour.

That's something
we all resort to on occasion.

Gentlemen, it is 1 1 o'clock!

Will you please take your places
in the council chamber?

When the mayor has been sworn in
as returning officer,

the sponsors may talk
on their candidates.

Then the votes will be taken
verbally, as usual.

- Good luck to you both.
- My lord.

Good luck, Poldark. l'm glad
we achieved you in the end.

- Thank you, Sir Francis.
- Gower.

l will now read the proclamation.

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.

You see how pleased
Horace is you called.

The poor little thing's
had his nose quite put out of joint

and was in need
of someone to cheer him up.

l'm glad for Horace's sake

but l was hoping
for someone to cheer me up.

- You've had no news of Hugh?
- No.

Dwight's given me none either.

Well, l shall have to impart
my devastating news.

- Caroline, what's happened?
- Demelza, it's too amul.

Remember my giddiness
and Dwight's theory of anaemia?

- You're not ill?
- Worse.

l'm with child.

Oh, Caroline, how wonde_ul!

What good news.
Congratulations, my love.

Well, it's all very well for you
but l think it's a dreadful mistake.

Can you imagine, if my own
husband, a doctor, didn't know?

He failed to diagnose it.

Oh, Caroline.
No wonder Horace looks so sulky.

You should have seen Dwight's face.

Well?

- Congratulations.
- Do you mean we've done it?

You and Poldark, 13 votes apiece.

Trengrouse and Warleggan, 12.

l had hoped for
something more conclusive.

Had you indeed? Be content.

Warleggan won it by one vote last time.

He's lost it by the same amount today.

Oh, it's conclusive enough for me.

That one vote will send you
to London as soon as you're packed.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Will you not celebrate with us?

- Another time.
- What is it?

What's happened?

Demelza!

Where the devil is she?

What's all the shouting about?

Anybody'd think...
Oh, master Ross, ee be back.

- Where's the mistress?
- She's gone out.

- About two hour ago.
- Out?

Just after dinner, it were.

Did she say where she was going?

No, not to me. But she weren't riding.

l'd have thought
she'd have been back afore dark.

- Well, did she leave a message?
- No, not with me.

l just give her the letter
and went back to the kitchen.

- What letter?
- From Tregothnan, he said.

Right, Prudie, that'll be all.

- You want anything to eat, sir?
- Later, later.

''ln view of the kindness
shown to my nephew

''both by Captain Poldark and yourself,

''l feel it my sad duty to let
you know Hugh died last night.

''His parents were with him.

''All that could be had been done...''

Where the hell have you been?
