![]() So the story line that sees Demelza be unfaithful to Ross, both in thought and deed, is one that saw Ross rocked to the core with despair at her infidelity. In other words he had complete faith in her. This was not because he did not care but because, as he said and he thought, "Demelza knows what to do with grappling irons.". For example, in book five (Black Moon), when Ross's cousin, St John Peter warned him at a party that a "damned Frenchie has his eye on Demelza."and that he better watch out for her because before he knew it the 'Frenchie' would be "boarding her", Ross barely batted an eyelid. Beforehand Ross seemingly trusted her one hundred percent. But that she did indeed do with Lieutenant Hugh Armitage. ![]() Naturally this of course means that he would never have thought her capable of infidelity against him. ![]() ![]() It's a very clear statement that he almost had her up there with the angels, and as he said, that he would have 'staked' his life on it. ![]() Whilst Ross soon got over his anger of the role Demelza played in Verity's elopement, this comment from him certainly shows what he thought of Demelza and her ability to do wrong. These are Ross Poldark's words from book two (Demelza) after he is upset to learn that with Verity having previously been separated by her family from Captain Andrew Blamey, Demelza went behind his back and helped to reconnect them. ![]()
