- Sir Francis Bassett: [Speakinng of the feud between the Warleggans and the Poldarks] You may tell him from me one should not wear soiled linen where it may be seen.
- Demelza Poldark: One should not wear soiled linen at all, Sir Francis.
- Emma Tregirls: [about Sam while Drake is shoeing a horse] I come to you because there is no one other to talk to.
- Drake Carne: Do you love'em?
- Emma Tregirls: I do not know what love do mean, but I can't be free the way I used to be.
- Drake Carne: How's that?
- Emma Tregirls: People do say I'm a whore. What is a whore? A woman tha does sell her body. I never sold nothing to no one. I'm not so loose as folks say, but what I've done I don't regret.
- Drake Carne: Well then, what trouble you?
- Emma Tregirls: Since I've seen him, since we've talked, I've lost the pleasure of things. That's the trouble of it. I wish to God I'd never met him.
- Drake Carne: Turn the other cheek - that's what Sam would do.
- Ross Poldark: Then Sam's more fool than you.
- Drake Carne: Well, then, Christ be a fool too for 'twas his advice.
- Ross Poldark: [Frustrated] Oh, God spare me from the Carnes!
- George Warleggan: Do not forget that we leave for London in the morning.
- Elizabeth Warleggan: For London? If what I just heard is true, I would rather go to Hell first.
