Ross doesn't miss the look she casts at him; rather, he simply chooses to ignore it.
Perhaps it'll make her cross with him for some time, but he'd expected as much. Keeping the house a secret will be worth it in the end, just to see her face, Ross is certain of that. If he has to face her suspicions about what he could possibly be doing in the meantime, he's more than up to the challenge. Everyone he's managed to recruit to help with the home has been sworn to secrecy so he's quite confident this will work out precisely the way he intends.
"It's a good job," Ross concedes. "A steady one, anyhow, a far more reliable source of income than Wheal Leisure."
Even so, he does miss the thrill of finding copper, that sense of excitement that'd always come with a another taste of success. True, it'd started to fall apart by the time he'd arrived in Darrow but now that he's far enough away from it, Ross can let himself look back on the endeavor more fondly.
