Was Keats (or a ghost of Keats) following Fanny at the end of the movie when she recites his poem?

Fanny's brother is following her at a discreet distance.

"I'd never ask you to trust me. It's the cry of a guilty soul."

Because of the social proprieties of the time and Fanny's age (at the time of Keats's death), it was her brother, Samuel following her. It was inappropriate for Fanny to be out unchaperoned; however, historically, she was known to walk the Heath until late at night - by herself - long after Keats's death.

I think her mom feared she might kill herself.
