He said that whatever a man 's calling may be , it is well that he should go into it with all his heart , and that since you have taken to arms , it is well indeed that you should so soon have distinguished yourself as to be deemed worthy of knighthood .

'' At eleven o'clock , Van Voorden , his wife and daughter , mounted , together with Edgar , Albert , and their two men-at-arms ; both the latter were in body armour , with steel caps ; the Fleming had secured a strong and serviceable horse for Hal . His own servants had gone on an hour before with three carts carrying the baggage ; Sir Ralph accompanied them across London Bridge to Rotherhithe , where the barque was lying alongside a wharf . The horses were first taken on board , and placed in stalls on deck . These Van Voorden had had erected so that the horses should suffer no injury in case they encountered rough weather .
