Theo Sharpe was the golden boy. He was born in the seaside town of Seaton. His father was an accountant for the Viscount Everards, while his mother was a handmaiden. As a young boy, Theo had captured the heart of the old man Everards through his quick wit and intellect. The viscount had made sure they gave the boy an education and even paid him to go to university in Edinburgh. "As a payback, I must see you as a very respected barrister in the next 20 years," he had said.
When he graduated from the university, he had applied to get into Gray's inn to get a pupillage and get called to the bar, but it took time. There were several who applied for that position and to get into it, he had to wait through the selection period. But here he was in London with money which would last a week and nowhere to go. That's how he ended up at the dingy printer's shop.
Chancery Lane Print shop:
"so you would like to be my apprentice for a couple of months?". Peter asked.
Theo replied with a prompt "yes sir."
"And I will pay you 15 shillings a week. Is that okay with you?"
"yes sir,"
"Great, then start today. You can stay in the apartment upstairs."
"Thank you, sir," Theo says.
"Sir, if you don't mind me asking, could I print something when I not working, for sale of course?"
"You can do anything you want. I won't bother. But if it ever gets me into trouble, you lose your job and your roof, Theo." Peter said and walked into the back office.
"Well. I don't need to worry about my living conditions anymore." Theo said to himself and gets to work.
It was while he was exploring the gloomy streets of Bloomsbury the next afternoon that he stumbled into a radical meeting. Two women were on the stage speaking their hearts out about oppression and the need for equality. Theo, a man who believed in the same ideology as them, made sure he visited whenever the community met and even circulated his very own pamphlets at the meeting. The people took an instant liking to the pamphlet and he became a people's favourite among the community.
