For this action Sir George Rodney was created a peer of Great Britain; Sir Samuel Hood a peer of Ireland; and Admiral Drake and Commodore Affleck were made baronets. These actions must be taken merely as examples of what the navy was about at that time. Towards the end of 1782, negotiations for a general peace were set on foot, and it was finally concluded early in the following year.
The Sussex ironfounders worked chiefly at Cowden, Hawkhurst, and Lamberhurst, and there were forges at Cranbrook, Coudhurst, Tonbridge, and Biddenden. The principal ironmasters of Kent were the Knights and the Tichbornes, whose descendants became baronets.
Any one looking at him in 'mufti' would exclaim, 'what an unfortunate object! and perhaps offer him a penny, while in his hunting habiliments lords would hail him with, 'Well, Tom, how are you? and baronets ask him 'how he was? Commoners felt honoured by his countenance, and yet, but for hunting, Tom would have been wasted a cypher an inapplicable sort of man.
She'll come to me for safety soon as she knows what you do. She'll have to, to save them that's dearest to her. You and her father and her friendship for the Baronets ought to do somethin'; besides, Marjie needs somebody to look after her. She's a pretty girl and everybody runs after her. She'd be spoiled.

If I would keep up the Established Church of England, it is not for the sake of lords, and baronets, and country gentlemen of five thousand pounds a-year, and rich bankers in the city. I know that such people will always have churches, aye, and cathedrals, and organs, and rich communion plate.
Shandy," said Sir Peter, resuming his stand on the hearthstone, "that among the responsibilities of a parent the choice of the name which his child is to bear for life is one of the gravest. And this is especially so with those who belong to the order of baronets. In the case of a peer his Christian name, fused into his titular designation, disappears.
We can't all of us be lords, nor baronets." Catching up his temper thus cleverly, he curbed that habitual runaway, and retired from his old friend's presence to explode in the society of the solitary Martha. Annette's behaviour was as bitterly criticized by the sister as by the brother. "She has gone to those Fellingham people; and she may be thinking of jilting us," Mrs. Cavely said.
