Your POV

I suddenly woke up and I looked outside to see that it was almost morning so I sighed and got up I decided to go into the kitchen but I gasped as I saw Mrs Lovett I then sighed into relief when I realised that it was her.

"Morning there love"

She said in a calming voice.

"Morning"

I said sitting down on a chair.

"Mrs Lovett?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you know what happened with Sweeney?"

She looked at me and sighed She then walked over to me and sat down on the other chair.

"There was a barber and his wife and he was beautiful,
A proper artist with a knife,
But they transported him for life.
And he was beautiful..."

I heard her sing and her voice was quite soft and kind.

"Barker,his name was, Benjamin Barker"

"Transported what crime has he commit?"

I asked not believing that Todd could do any crime.

"Foolishness."

I looked down.

"He had a wife,you see,
Pretty little thing.
Silly little nit
Had her chance for the moon on a string.
Poor thing. Poor thing.
There was this judge ya see.."

"Judge Turpin?"

I asked with a frown she nodded.

"He wanted her like mad
Everyday he sent her a flower
But did she come down from her tower?
Sat up there and sulked by the hour
Poor fool!
Ah,but there was worse yet to come
Poor thing!
Well,Beadle calls on her all polite
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
The judge,he tells her,all is contrite.
He blames himself for her dreadful plight.
She must come straight to her house tonight!
Poor thing!
Poor thing!
Of course when she goes there...
Poor thing!
poor thing!
They're having this ball all in masks.
There's no one she knows there!
Poor dear!
Poor thing!
She wonders, tormented and drinks!
Poor thing!
The judge has repented, she thinks.
Poor thing!
"Oh where is Judge Turpin?" she asks...
He was there, alright!
Only not so contrite!
She wasn't no match for such craft, ya see.
And everyone thought it so dull.
They figured she had to be daft, ya see.
So all of them stood there and laughed, ya see!
Poor soul!
Poor thing!"

I felt so bad for Sweeney's wife she did not deserve that.

"What happened after?"

"She poisoned herself I tried to stop her"

I nodded.
