    Summary

    Autumn 1913. Lady Caroline Penvenen’s life has settled into a new kind of familiarity in Cornwall following the death of her parents on the Titanic. Her favourite housemaid and closest confidant, Demelza Carne, is content in her role at Killewarren, as she knows she is safe from her father’s grasp. Ross Poldark returns from his two-and-a-half year mining venture in California, which was a commercial success but a familial catastrophe, and he fears his relationship with his cousin is forever beyond repair. Dr Dwight Enys returns to his childhood home of Cornwall for a fresh start. But appearances can be deceiving…

    Summary

    Ross returns from his long trip to Portugal, and brings Demelza a meaningful gift.
    An embellishment of the scene from "The Stranger From the Sea."
    It's about 1810 in the book timeline when this happens, and I wanted to explore R & D's relationship as they reach middle age.

    Summary

    Demelza accompanies Ross to London, and actually has a nice trip from home for once. Or at least, a trip without tragedy. This is an adjusted version of what happened on their trip to London; and what might've happened if they'd both been better at communicating. Demelza invents re-gifting. And there's sex.
