“To think I did always look up to you,” she said, reminding him of his vow to forsake all others when he became her husband. In remarks which neatly complemented Aunt Agatha’s comments about good men, Demelza upbraided Ross’s cocky suggestion that her pride was hurt with the riposte that her pride in him was the only thing that had been damaged. The wayward spouse was also consigned to a camp bed in the library but it didn’t take long for all Demelza’s passive aggression to come out into the open as very active bitterness and fury. She had eschewed her domestic duties which meant, in a nice touch, that Prudie (Beatie Edney) was in charge and Ross’s breakfast was inedible. She started the episode taking breakfast in her room, almost as if she were seeking to duplicate the ladylike ways of her rival. And Demelza? She is, you won’t be surprised to learn, hurt and angry. As Elizabeth longed for Ross, Ross was desperate for Demelza’s forgiveness.
