Hannah Maddock was flittering about her bedroom when the door creaked open, and Therese walked in, carrying a pile of clothes under the crook of one arm. |
Maddock, a little-known 19-year-old from Stoke-on-Trent, emerged as a star of the Games when she produced a sensational performance to take the 49kg division. |
Dressed in rags, with haggard faces, Maddock watched them shamble by. |
While being a rather cold and calculating man on the whole, Maddock had a soft spot for children. |
Removing his rather shabby cloak to reveal a more respectable outfit underneath, Maddock spied a nearby servant carrying a tray of food. |
Among the good horses maddock was associated with were the Duke of Devonshire's popular mare Park Top, The Pouncer, Althrey Don, mountain Call and Laureate. |
