CHAPTER XV.
Lady Lufton's Ambassador And then, in the days which followed, that friend of Mr.Crawley's, whose name, by the by, is yet to be mentioned, received quick and great promotion.

Mr.Arabin by name he was then; Dr.Arabin afterwards, when that quick and great promotion reached its climax.
He had been simply a Fellow of Lazarus in those former years.

Then he became vicar of St.Ewold's, in East Barsetshire, and had not yet got himself settled there when he married the Widow Bold, a widow with belongings in land and funded money, and with but one small baby as an encumbrance.

Nor had he even yet married her, had only engaged himself so to do, when they made him Dean of Barchester--all which may be read in the diocesan and county chronicles.

And now that he was wealthy, the new dean did contrive to pay the debts of his poor friend, some lawyer of Camelford assisting him.
