Ross will have to live with the perfect ghost of Hugh Armitage in the same way that Demelza has to live with Valentine Warleggan wandering about the village looking the spit of her man. I won’t miss his entitled guilt-trip poetry, and I won’t miss the look of pain on Demelza’s face every time he bowed deeply to her at a social event, then tried to get her to do it with him in the bushes.Ī modern marriage, Ross and Demelza have each shown forbearance with the other’s affairs du coeur. Alas, she did not, so Hugh died, having narrowly avoided a hole being drilled in his skull to match the one he kept complaining about being in his heart. If only she’d give Hugh hope of another coastal tumble, he’d probably pull through. The handsome and poetic young war hero spent the hour weakening on his eiderdown, while everyone-even the swans-gravely agreed that this was all Demelza’s fault. It was a win and a loss for Lord Falmouth, whose candidate took the election, but whose nephew gave up the ghost. (Do you think Brassington gets danger money for filming those Amanda de Cadenet scenes? Veruca avoidance is no laughing matter.) Between now and next week, keep fingers and toes crossed that the “common drab” Ossie’s been visiting has been painting her nails with mercury. At the mention of the word ‘charity’ while George and Ross’ wager terms were being set, Christian Brassington’s nose screwed up in such disgust it was as though someone had shoved a stinking foot underneath it. Truro’s own kinkster vicar continued to display his thoroughgoing unsuitability for the role.
