"So it stays?" Demelza asks, all but plastering herself to the window again so she can look inside. The design on the man's arm is quite beautiful, a lovely stag with a bird in the background, but she doesn't understand why he would want such a thing on his arm forever. Drawn with a needle and ink filled into a wound. It seems so dangerous to her, so unsanitary and begging for all kinds of infection.

"It stays forever?" she asks, looking back to Baz. "Oh, I don't think I'd like such a thing on myself or on Ross, but tis awful pretty on that man's arm. I don't rightly understand the purpose. What if he were to decide he no longer enjoys the stag picture?"
