Mr. Hammond Poore, also known as 'Herr Hanzart of Derbyshire' is a former character who was played by Katherine.
He has been competing with Mr. Algernon Culpepper for the attentions of Miss Felicity Staunton, though she has soundly rejected him. Subsequently he has turned his eyes to Miss Helena Wriothesley.
Background
Hammond Poore grew up at Lachrymose Cottage. His mother, Harriett Poore, died when he was five years old, and his father subsequently remarried Ursula Poore. The couple have one daughter, Hammond's half-sister Minerva. His step-mother and half-sister are very kind indeed, and accept Hammond fully, though both are rather on the flamboyant side. Hammond and his father talk very rarely, except to speak of Hammond's marrying a suitable young lady.
Little Hammond grew up a sickly young thing, although he adored his mother, he stayed clear of everybody else. He was not intelligent, and was tripping over this or that. His mother died when he was five years old. After that Hammond was even less sociably acceptable than before, and found himself completely void of any love in his life. He grew from a clumsy, odd little boy to a bumbling, unattractive young man. Like father, like son. He has come to London for one purpose only, to find a suitable wife. He has found it very difficult to woo any young ladies near his home, and has come in the vain hopes that London women will be wanting enough to find him mildly attractive. Good luck, Mr. Poore.
