Nellie waited until the Beedle was a good block away before letting out a sigh of releif, "Tha' wos close..." She suddenly glared at Sweeney, "Why in the bloody 'Ell didn't ya-ya?!" She couldn't finish the sentence, but it pretty well finished itself. She would never remember all the things she'd just said and she knew that if she didn't, it'd be court and later the hanging for her. She loved the man, but honestly! Sometimes it was hard to remember why she kept him around!

He looked at her, still confused.
"What do you mean? I mean, he's gone, isn't he? You needn't worry. If he comes back, I'll just offer him another shave and..." He made a throat slitting motion with his razor "...polish him off real nice. If you know what I mean."
Sweeney was not the least bit worried, there would be no way he would allow the Beadle, or anyone else for that matter, catch on to what him and Mrs. Lovett were really up to.

"UGH!" She threw up her hands in frustration and let them fall at her sides. "Look. If 'e asks 'bout any given thin' tha' I jus' said, I'll neva rememba any o' it. Tha' makes us even more suspicous than we already is! We jus' oughta get outa town while we still can!"

Toby heard that the beadle had left and he slowly started to walk out of her room. When he heard that Mrs. Lovett was yelling at Mr. Todd, he decided it might not be the best time for him to come out. So, he just stood there, thinking he was out of the way.

Sweeney was slightly amused with how she was acting. He had never seen her in such a state. He smiled a bit and began to explain his view on the situation.
"He won't ask about anything you said. By the time he can make his way back here, he will probably forget all about the things you said. And if we move, that will definitely put us under greater suspicion. The Beadle would question why we left the city so quickly. It's better to just stay around here, we can handle ourselves, I'm sure of it. I have it all under control."
With that he left the room and went back towards her parlor to get a bottle of gin. After all this commotion he could use a good drink. On his way there, he passed Toby standing in the doorway. He stopped, and abruptly turned to Toby.
"What are you doing standing here? You have no business watching in on our conversations. What did you hear? Tell the truth boy." With that he took out his razor and held near Toby's throat.

"UGH!" Nellie closed her eyes in silent frustration. She balled her hands into fists so tightly that her fingernails very nearly drew blood. She loved Sweeney dearly, but sometimes he just made her want to scream. Now was one of those times. She took a few deep breaths and calmed down....
Only to find Sweeney threatening Toby. Again. She rolled her eyes, hands on her hips, "Leave the boy alone, Mista T. 'E's prob'bly been waitin' ta talk ta me."

Hearing this, he turned from Toby and smiled a bit at Mrs. Lovett, happy that she had returned to her calmer state.
"Good. You're back to your normal self. I guess you can get started on the pies for tonight and I will go back to my shop and wait for tonight's clients."
With that he looked back at Toby, giving him a very serious foreboding stare. He slowly pulled his razor away from Toby's throat.
"Go, Mrs. Lovett needs you". He said as he pushed Toby through the door way.

Toby was scared. He knew that if Mrs. Lovett wasn't there, he would've and could've slit his throat. His breathing rapidly grew. Praying Mrs. Lovett would make him go away. When he finally slowed back away he was relieved and let out a sigh. Just as he did, he was shoved through the door. He stumbled back from the force and then quickly walked to Mrs. Lovett's side. "What can I do for you mum?" He said looking up at her.

The baker shook her head in disbelief and wrapped an arm around Toby's shoulders in a motherly sort of way. "Tha' man..."
She sighed and looked down at Toby. She studied his face and shook her head again, "Ya should lie down, luv... Ya look awful. 'Ave ya been sleepin' properly?"

When he heard what she said he was slightly confused. But he just shrugged it off. Thinking nothing of it.
He looked back up at her when she spoke to him. "I have had some trouble sleepin' mum" He said, itching his head. "But, I should help you. He said." He said, talking about Sweeney.

She looked him over again at arms length, skeptically, "Ya sure, luv...? If you're no' feelin' well, ya can prob'bly skip tanight... 'S Sunday afta all, we don' get much business on Sunday."
She really did worry for Toby, especially when he got into the gin. Not only was it expensive, but even she knew that that much alcohol couldn't be good for a growing boy.

The gin had really started getting to his head. He had begun drinking down to fast. While standing there, he kinda wobbled and his vision became blurry but he was dedicated to helping her. "I am fine mum" He said giving a weak smile. He was hoping she wouldn't make him lie down. He felt bad for her. "I know it's Sunday mum but, I should really help. Wotcha need mum?" He said politely

Nellie frowned, scrutinizing him. When she saw him wobble, she shook her head, "No luv... Ya really need ta lie down. I don' need much 'elp tanight, an' ya really oughta just sleep the gin off..." She sighed, thinking to herself, and I really need to start locking up the gin...

Sweeney shook his head in disapproval as he watched Toby standing unsteady next to Mrs. Lovett.
"You keep an eye on that boy, make sure he doesn't get himself into any trouble." He said as he walked passed Mrs. Lovett. Sweeney began to head back to his shop where he planned on hopefully continuing the day without anymore interruptions.

Not being able to hear what Sweeney said but, knowing he said something because he saw his lips moving. He was nervous, he had wondered what he said. He decided that he wouldn't ask "Are you sure mum? I don't want you getting hurt, I would never want anything to happen to you." He said, looking up at the celeing. He still didn't trust that man. He gave Mrs. Lovett a weak smile.
