It doesn't take her long to discover that the young lawyer in her father's court, somewhat nervous but well able to stand up for himself, is not at all like Theo. She thinks at first that they're both a little silly, both a little sweet, and that's true--but this Pontmercy is prouder, slower to anger, and--and he writes wonderful love poetry. Sometimes he shows her what he's working on for his wife, and she wishes a little sadly that it were to her.
I'm going to say that this is post-Westmark, pre-Kestrel, when Theo's off gadding about in Mull. :D
