Victoria sat next to her window once again but with tears in her eyes and no singing. Judge Van Cleaf stood outside of her room looking through the hole behind the painting to see her crying to herself before placing the picture back on the wall. Victoria looked our of her window and saw the young man watching her from behind a post again. She smiles softly before opening the box beside her and taking out a key, the young woman opened the window and throws the key into the street towards Robbie who dashes to pick up the key smiles back at her then runs from the street before he can get caught by the Judge or the Beadle.
The red haired woman sat in a chair that had recently been added to the upstairs room on Fleet Street and watched the tall man in front of her sharpen his knives. "It's not much of a chair, but it'll do. It was me poor Albert's chair. Sit in it all day long he did, after his leg gave out with gout."
The man stood next to her growing more and more impatient, "Why doesn't the beadle come?" he questioned, " 'Before the week is out,' that's what he said."
"Well, who says the weeks out? Its only Tuesday." her reply came short and simple. Mr. Todd looked at her with anger in his eyes and threw the block he had been sharpening his knife on across the room. The woman slowly stood from the chair and began her song slow but powerful.
"Easy, now.
Hush, love, hush.
Don't distress yourself,
what's your rush?
Keep your thoughts,
nice and lush.
Wait.
Hush, love, hush.
Think it though.
Once it bubbles,
then what's to do?
Watch it close,
let it brew.
Wait."
Sweeney walked away from her as she changed her tune to be a bit more cheerful.
"I've been thinking flowers,
maybe daisies,
to brighten up the room.
Don't you think some flowers,
pretty daisies,
might relieve the gloom?
Ah, wait.
Love wait."
Stared at him intently, wondering if he was listening to her, when he spoke she realised he had not. "And the judge? When'll we get to him?"
He walks across the room again still not listening to her talk, "Can't you think of nothing else? Always brooding away on your wrongs... and what happened heaven knows haw many years ago. Come on." She walks towards him then begins the first tune again with new words.
"Slow, love, slow.
Time so fast.
Now goes quickly,
see, now its passed.
Soon will come.
Soon will last.
Wait."
She sits him down in the chair and continues singing.
"Don't you know,
silly man,
half the fun,
is to plan the plan?
All good things,
come to those who can,
wait.
Gillyflowers, maybe,
'stead of daisies,
I don't know, though,
what do you think?"
Mr. Todd holds a knife in front of his face and smiles at it menacingly before rushing to stand next to the door when footsteps are heard outside. Robbie rushes through the door surprised to see a woman instead of Sweeney in front of him. "Oh, I'm sorry, excuse me." was all he could say for bursting in. "Mrs. Valentine, sir." her name finally said aloud. "A pleasure, ma'am." he replies, out of breath, Robbie sees Sweeney stood next to the door and turns to him desperately. "Mr. Todd, there's a girl who needs my help. Such a sad girl, and lonely but beautiful too." he rushed. Sweeney escorts him to the chair for rest, "Slow down, son."
"Yes, I'm sorry." he catches his breath before continuing, "This girl has a guardian who keeps her locked away... but then this morning she dropped this," he said showing the key, "surely a sign that Victoria wants me to help her." Mrs. Valentine and Sweeney look at each other in shock after hearing the name but continue to listen to the boy, "that's her name, Victoria. And Van Cleaf is her guardian. He's a judge of some sort. Once he goes to court, I'll slip into the house... release her and beg her to come away with me tonight." His voice sped up once again.
Mrs. Valentine plays along as if she doesn't know anything, "Oh, this is very romantic."
"Yes." Robbie says eagerly. His voice soon becomes very serious, "but I don't know anyone in London, you see. And I need somewhere safe to bring her till I've hired a coach to take us away. If I could keep her here just for an hour or two, I'd be forever in your debt." Sweeney stays quiet, thinking, his thoughts interrupted when Mrs. Valentine speaks, "Bring her here, love." Robbie turns to her for a moment, "Thank you, ma'am." He looks at Sweeney again who is still in a state of shock. "Mr. Todd?" The man slowly nods and Robbie excitedly stands from his chair. "Oh, thank you. Thank you, thank you, my friend. Thank you ma'am." He repeats before running from the room.
"Seems like the Fates are favouring you at last, Mr. T" Sweeney trudges across the room, "What is it? You'll have her back before the day 's out." Sweeney looks at her. "What about him?"
"Him? Oh, well. Let him bring her here. And then, since your so hot for a little:" she points at her throat and makes a choking sound, "That's the throat to slit, my dear. Poor little Victoria. All these years without a scrap of motherly affection. Well, I'll soon see to that." She notices that Sweeney is looking curiously out of the window and looks out herself to see what he is looking at. "Hello, what's he doing here?"
I'm sorry I know its kinda short but I hope that for the people who have never seen the film that I have left it at a cliffhanger. So if you don't know who it then review and guess, if you do know then review anyway lol :) (still loving smiley faces XD).
