Demelza
- Demelza: [Following Demelza's first holiday with Ross' family] So how'd I do, Ross? You're not too ashamed of me?
- Ross Poldark: Why do you think I married you?
- Demelza: I don't rightly know.
- Ross Poldark: To satisfy an appetite. To save myself from being alone. Because it was the right thing to do. I had few expectations. At best, you'd be a distraction, a bandage to ease a wound. But I was mistaken. You've redeemed me. I am your humble servant, and I love you.
- Demelza: [singing] I d' pluck a fair rose for my love; I d' pluck a red rose blowing. Love's in my heart a-trying so to prove What your heart's knowing. I d' pluck a finger on a thorn, I d' pluck a finger bleeding. Red is my heart a-wounded and forlorn And your heart needing. I d' hold a finger to my tongue, I d' hold a finger waiting. My heart is sore until it joins in song Wi' your heart mating.
