Presenting Demelza Carne or Dolmelza in her beautiful red dress, as worn in Poldark, Episode 1.04. She wore it again, I think, a little more informally, in 1.07.

‘I’d pluck a fair rose for my love I’d pluck a red rose blowing Love’s in my heart, a-trying so to prove What your heart, your heart’s knowing. I’d pluck a finger on a thorn I’d pluck a finger bleeding Red is my heart, wounded and forlorn And your heart, your heart needing. I’d hold a finger to my tongue I’d hold a finger waiting My heart is sore, until it joins in song Wi’ your heart, your heart mating.’

This is my first post for Dolldark….hopefully the first of many, but still haven’t found my DollRoss.

He’s proving more elusive than the bloody Scarlet Pimpernel ( another fictional hero of mine from the 18th century!)
