Malcolm Tierney: Monk Adderley

Quotes 

• Demelza Poldark : Are you a gentleman?

  Monk Adderley : I trust so.

  Demelza Poldark : Forgive me... I know little of London manners, but is it not a gentleman's duty to withdraw when a lady asks him?

  Monk Adderley : [Using Demelza's words to sound like a double-entendre]  Only when the gentleman has already been in.

• Monk Adderley : Two things I like best: to fight duels and make love.

  Demelza Poldark : With the same person?

  Monk Adderley : No, but on the same day. One whets the appetite for the other.
