*Johanna sat sadly in a corner, holding the string of pearls she had given to Antony.*

Jack wandered in with a woman that for now looked very fresh and buxom but was likely to topple right into Madame Thenardier territory within about five years. As she hadn't yet, Jack kissed her cheek and made her laugh, an inane tinkling noise.
"Cap'n..." she giggled. "Celeste..." he purred. "Cap'n..." "Celeste..."
He was about to swoop her back for another kiss when he saw the young girl sitting there.
"Johanna!?"
He dropped Celeste in surprise, causing the plump brunette to sit up on the floor in supreme annoyance.
"O's she?" Celeste demanded. "Just a friend-" Jack began, but Celeste slapped him hard across the face and flounced out.
Jack recovered himself, rubbing his cheek, and darted back to the doorway.
"Thanks for the dance!" he shouted, waving his arms for Celeste's attention.
Instead, someone threw a chicken at him, and his face fell. He came back inside, paused, leaned back out and tried to grab the chicken. The chicken put up an unholy fuss and scratched Jack across the face, causing him to drop it. It wandered away indignantly, while Jack rubbed his bleeding face.
"There goes dinner," he grumbled, shutting the door behind him.
He was about to pass Johanna when he seemed to notice her all over again.
"Why the long face?'

*Johanna had watched the entire episode blankly. Her expression still hadn't changed.*
"He's dead. Anthony."

"Who's Anthony?" Jack asked bluntly.

"The man I ran away with. The one you told me couldn't be of less interest to you."

"Oh, right. Him."
Jack was not good at being comforting.

"We were going to be married. I don't know what to do with myself."
*She sighed*
"Your friend Macheath was nice about it, though."

Jack looked uncomfortable. Or nauseated. Something.
"Er, this may sound a bit rich coming from me, but you might want to stay away from Mackie, lass."

"Well, y'see..."
He tried to think of how to explain this and finally decided he'd have to sacrifice his own reputation.
"Whatever you've heard about me, take that and make it fifteen times worse. That's Mackie."

"But he's married, and she didn't look like she'd put up with him being bad."
