As I washed the bloody deed off my hands and face, I undid the button on my collar and took off my waistcoat, leaving it on the side of the bath. Looking into the mirror, I expected to see a monster, a murderer filled with guilt, but instead I saw a lost, confused man with a smile creeping in the corner of his mouth.
I collapsed into my bed with a single candle light flickering to my right. The blood on the window was still there and the empty trunk from which the young boy saw everything from was still open. Even though it was obvious evidence if a policeman heard of the lad's tale, it didn't matter to me. I felt as if something in my conscious made the Judge and Lucy's death a small, short term matter.
I stared at the ceiling; all was quiet, tranquil, paused. A beautiful sound muffled by the floorboards flourished into the room, disturbing the silence - it was Mrs Lovett singing one of her parlour songs on the harmonium. Heaven knows why she was singing in the early hours of the morning, but the melodic tunes sweetened the air and I fell into a deep sleep being lulled by a pretty woman like her...
Sweet Polly Plunkett lay in the grass,
Turned her eyes heavenward, sighing,
"I am a lass who alas loves a lad—"
The red sunlight beaming through the window blinded me, and I crawled into the bathroom, checking my pocket watch in my waistcoat. In the mirror was a not-so-groomed old gentleman. If I were to impress someone, I would need to spruce myself up – French cologne, a seductive tone and a shave. Using one of my other razors from the wooden box (I wouldn't have dared to touch the one stalking the bake house) I groomed myself to the best I could manage. Rummaging through my drawers I found my best ironed shirt, pair of trousers and waistcoat, adding my neck rag and blue jacket. After a final quick look in the mirror, I took a deep breath and went outside to greet Mrs Lovett...
