He says that he believes all evil of his opponents; but she really believed the evil.

The archdeacon had called Mrs.Proudie a she-Beelzebub; but that was a simple ebullition of mortal hatred.

He believed her to be simply a vulgar, interfering, brazen-faced virago.
Mrs.Proudie in truth believed that the archdeacon was an actual emanation from Satan, sent to those parts to devour souls,--as she would call it,--and that she herself was an emanation of another sort, sent from another source expressly to Barchester, to prevent such devouring, as far as it might possibly be prevented by a mortal agency.

The bishop knew it all,--understood it all.

He regarded the archdeacon as a clergyman belonging to a party opposed to his party, and he disliked the man.
