Nancy waited in the tavern, contemplating how things would be once she spoke to Bill after their fight. The red head sat, slowly drinking her sorrow away with her one and only true friend, Bet. She was worried how he would be with her, but Nancy tried to think better of her situation. Placing the mug down, she stood, and muttered to Bet, "I'll be upstairs."
With that, she walked up the stairs into the area where she once slept as a night lady. "I'll be here, and call ya when he comes if ya like." Bet called up to her depress friend. In reaction to the thrown drowned tone o f a muffled 'thanks' Bet walked over to the entrance and sat by the grill, tending to the sausages.
Watching all about her, Bet was personally nervous to face Bill. He was never a kind man in her eyes, and she could never see what qualities Nancy saw in him. Bill was a rugged man, not her type at all, but was handsome in his own way. The blonde shook her head silently in response to her quiet thoughts and looked out into the mid-night.
In the distance some time later, when the dark made things dark to any eye, Bet spotted shadows lurking just before the bridge, and with the sort of flat, rounded had shaped into the night, she knew it was the old Jew, and sighed. He's come for a meeting with Sikes. Good. That means the homewrecker isn't far off.
"Is he 'ere?" The old villain asked casually, his request silent to those singing 'Sweet betsy from pike' in the tavern. As the young girl shook her head she replied, "Nancy's inside waitin' for him." The aged burglar simply nodded, knowing that's what she would do, since he had been the very one to suggest it. Thinking of his stomach in nervous times, the old man gingerly picked up a sausage in his worn-gloved fingers and blew, and nibbled the meat with his rotting teeth as the girl looked on, disdainfully at him, "Can't burn your fingers can you?" She asked with slight disgust. "I never do, my dear, I never do." He replied with a twisted grin, and the old man waited for Bill Sikes to arrive at the lowly tavern.
