POLDARK SENTENCE STARTERS (26/?)
from season 3, episode 8. amend wording as needed!
โwhat is my offense, [NAME]?โ
โperhaps i was wrong in challenging you so vigorously.โ
โi have called on a personal matterโฆโ
โwhat i have to say must be utterly confidential.โ
โi would remind you you are pledged to secrecy.โ
โi would remind you that i am a gentleman, sir.โ
โthe spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!โ
โmy dear, what an age itโs been!โ
โforgive me, i was disagreeably detained.โ
โyou take a very sour view of marriage.โ
โin love we keep company with the gods.โ
โif you had any sense, youโd be roughinโ and tumblinโ about the meadow with that pretty boy.โ
โ โtis as good a way as any to drive off heartache.โ
โdo i look like the marrying kind?โ
โas i see it, a girlโs only power be when she have men dangling on a string.โ
โas i see it, a girlโs only power be when she have men dangling on a string. once they get her, the stringโs round her neck.โ
โshall we go together?โ
โi sympathize. your dilemma is acute.โ
โ... i begin to comprehend your purpose.โ
โare you here to congratulate me?โ
โyou will do no such thing.โ
โthis is not seemly.โ
โhave you been here all this time?โ
โwhy would you not come have a drink with us?โ
โwalk me homeโฆ and mind you donโt lay your hands on me behind a hedge.โ
โi disapprove of libraries. the danger of exposing uninstructed minds to ideas beyond their scope.โย
โi shall be going alone.โ
โevery husband needs time away from his wife and children.โ
โso iโm to remain hereโฆโ
โyou have my list of instructions?โ
โwhat part of my orders is unclear?โ
โi suspicion what you wantโฆ is me.โ
โiโve rolled in the hay fields with many a man.โ
โiโm happy in my sin, as youโre happy in your goodness.โ
โyouโre a rare good manโฆ but not for the likes of me.โ
โdo you not love him?โ
โi confess, iโd hoped to see you stronger.โ
โdo you still think of him?โ
โyou mustnโt ask me that.โ
โmay i tell him that iโve seen you?โ
โtell him i do not forget him, and never will.โ
โif anything, she grows worse.โ
โi wonder if itโs wise to pander to hystericsโฆโ
โitโs only a small gathering. no need to get fligged up.โ
โis something amiss?โ
โwhatever was between us is long past.โ
โdo you think me a monster?โ
โyouโre the one person who can do this.โ
โyou left me in no doubt that night.โ
โiโd sooner make a wheel than learn stupid latin declensions!โย
โyouโre learning how to be a gentleman.โ
โshe asked me to give you a message.โ
โwhat did you find there?โ
โfor the first time in years, we talked.โ
โi love her. not as i didโฆ but with fondness. the ghost of a love.โ
โmy conscience is sore, for i treated her ill.โ
โfifteen years ago iโd have given the earth for her.โ
โi have changed. because of you.โ
โi am wholly aware of my capabilities.โ
โi am wholly aware of my capabilities. i am also aware they are not for sale.โ
โyou and i have something in common.โ
โhow can you lose what youโve never had?โ
โyou think i idolize her?โ
โit is not perfection that i seek. it is flesh and blood.โ
โi think i should like some more port.โ
โtake all the time you need.โ
โnothing matters more than your well-being.โ
โwhy do i think youโre not very interested in this story?โ
โshould you like me to sit on your lap?โ
โi have nothing to tell. do you?โ
โi wish i could be two people.โ
โi know who it is who truly owns my heart.โ
โjust be patient with me. as i have been patient with you.โ
