Have you heard that the bishop sent over on the following day to stop him from preaching?
He did so, and sent again on the Sunday.

But Crawley would not give way, and so far I respect the man; for, as a matter of course, whatever the bishop did, or attempted to do, he would do with an extreme of bad taste, probably with gross ignorance as to his own duty and as to the duty of the man under him.

I am told that on the first day Crawley turned out of his house the messenger sent to him,--some stray clergyman whom Mrs.Proudie keeps about the house; and that on the Sunday the stairs to the reading-desk and pulpit were occupied by a lot of brickmakers, among whom the parson from Barchester did not venture to attempt to make his way, although he was fortified by the presence of one of the cathedral vergers and by one of the palace footmen.

I can hardly believe about the verger and the footman.

As for the rest, I have no doubt it is all true.
