It does the trick, however! No doubt heвЂ™ll return to call in his sexual loan at some point. Demelza, in keeping with her tradition of taking family business to a third party, heads off to coax money out of acquaintances and finds herself getting felt up by Sir Hugh, who literally says вЂњwoof woofвЂќ while scrabbling at her bodice. IвЂ™m sure her three dresses and a pair of earrings will net the 400 pounds needed to keep them out of debtorsвЂ™ prison. Good for her! Ross is passive-aggressive and prone to sour looks, why not tell him so?ДЄpparently Ross responds well to being told plain truths, as he apologizes and coughs up the bare facts of their depressing finances, to DemelzaвЂ™s immediate horror. Almost dying appears to have stiffened her marital spine a bit. When she suddenly goes off on him, itвЂ™s a bit of a shock, since Demelza has traditionally been annoyingly grateful that he deigned to marry her. Ross certainly isnвЂ™t winning points for his husbandly concern at the moment. Demelza is, after all, the second-most beautiful woman in the country, which no one seems to remember unless sheвЂ™s wearing a fancier dress than usual, so itвЂ™s nice to see someone pay attention to her. Let us joyfully leave the interminable dullness of copper mining and focus on what really matters: I think Captain MacNeil is putting the moves on Demelza? Prudie definitely thinks so, and they did share glasses of rum and some pleasant conversation about a sick cow -В the 18th-century Cornish equivalent of sexting -В so IвЂ™m intrigued to see where this goes. The guy bears a striking resemblance to Grima Wormtongue, which is no doubt intentional. Unfortunately for Ross, the Warleggans dispatched an agent into their midst who actually asks probing questions about this latest scheme. How he continues to attract investors after literally sending a handful of his previous partners to the poorhouse is an utter mystery, but these idiots would likely back him in a purchase of magic beans. Their marriage has always benefited from hiding unpleasant truths from each other, so IвЂ™m sure this will work out in their favor. Ross faces a more pressing issue, though: His banker has called in the interest on a thousand-pound loan - 40 percent! -В which he immediately hides from Demelza. What exactly do you have to do to get permanently fired from this job? I happen to think that almost sending his employer to the gallows out of pique is a much milder breach of trust than claiming he fathered his cousinвЂ™s child, and so, it appears, does Ross, who seems content to let bygones be bygones.

The worldвЂ™s worst servant, Jud, is literally pulling his forelock and toadying up to him like itвЂ™s his job, which it essentially is. He is flat broke, despite having more money than essentially anyone else in the neighborhood. Now that Ross is home from prison, things are relatively back to normal in our little Cornish hotbed of intrigue.
