So completely did Edward forgive the family, that we read in the Chronicles how King Edward, long afterwards, honoured Herstmonceux with a royal visit on his road to make a pious retreat at the Abbey of Battle. Ralph succeeded his father, and we may be sure lived on good terms with Hubert.
As is the way with much more ponderous and deliberate men; as is the way, in a degree, with all men! Enough, in February, 1835, Sterling came up to London, to consult with his physicians, and in fact in all ways to consider with himself and friends, what was to be done in regard to this Herstmonceux business.
To the knight above Drogo paid his first visit on the following day, and bowed low before Ralph of Herstmonceux. "The fortune of war has made thee my captive, but knightly fare and honourable treatment are awaiting thee, until the day when it pleases thee to redeem thyself, and deprive us of the light of thy presence." "Thanks!
John Sterling at Herstmonceux that afternoon, and his Father here in London, would have offered strange contrasts to an eye that had seen them both. Contrasts, and yet concordances. They were two very different-looking men, and were following two very different modes of activity that afternoon.
By him too the recollection of these our daily meetings was cherished till the last." There are many poor people still at Herstmonceux who affectionately remember him: Mr.

He probably returned to Herstmonceux next day, where he proposed yet to reside for some indefinite time. Arrived at Herstmonceux, he had not forgotten us. One of his Letters written there soon after was the following, which much entertained me, in various ways. I suppose Sterling had borrowed it of me.
Hare was gone, Sterling wrote that his purposes were a little changed by the late meeting at Bonn; that he now longed to enter the Church straightway: that if the Herstmonceux Curacy was still vacant, and the Rector's kind thought towards him still held, he would instantly endeavor to qualify himself for that office. The bereaved young lady has taken the veil, then! Even so.
The train of Herstmonceux were but equipped for the hunt and in such weapons as they possessed the outlaws were far better versed than they, for with boar spear or hunting knife they often faced the rush of wolf or boar. "Martin! Boy, thou hast saved the young fop. "Dost thou yield, Norman, to ransom?"
We parted with the mutual wish to meet again; which accordingly, at his Father's house and at mine, we soon repeatedly did; and already, in the few days before his return to Herstmonceux, had laid the foundations of a frank intercourse, pointing towards pleasant intimacies both with himself and with his circle, which in the future were abundantly fulfilled.
