30 days and counting: still working on the doctor's scene, took a break and wrote a sorta-semi flashback thing that i will probably keep though i am hard-pressed to define it.
answers to some of the burning questions i posited earlier, namely: 1. who paid the bill? and 2. whose firm was Poppet working for?

man, i am just fragged from the week. i could fall asleep right now (like in the palm of a hand).

"An accused before any court-martial is entitled to free legal representation by military defense counsel, and can also retain civilian counsel at his or her expense." while this is part of the modern definition, let's presume the same was true then as well (it would have to be ~ i can think of no other way to do it).( some particulars, but not many )
Poppet was more or less obliged to take the case when Burnett approached him because he was (drumroll please) working in the city as defense counsel for the military courts (see, it pays to reread the same source five times ~ you pick up on little sentences that slip through the cracks now and then!).
so as a civilian (which he was then) he had a military contract ~ the government paid his bill. interestingly, that also means they were also paying the bill for his witnesses.
