People did not think much of Mr Winthrop; but still on this subject he might know something, and when he shook his head he manifestly intended to indicate guilt. And Dr Tempest, the rector of Silverbridge, did not hesitate to declare his belief in the guilt of the incumbent of Hogglestock. No man reverences a clergyman, as a clergyman, so slightly as a brother clergyman.
When he went into his school and remembered, as he did remember through every minute of his teaching, that he was to receive no portion of the poor stipend which was allotted for the clerical duties of the parish, he told himself that there was gross injustice in the way in which things were being made straight at Hogglestock.
"What will Mr Crawley do now, do you suppose?" said Mrs Grantly. "What will he do?" "Yes; must he go on at Hogglestock?" "What else?" said the archdeacon. "It is a pity something could not be done for him after all he has undergone. How on earth can he be expected to live there with a wife and family, and no private means?" To this the archdeacon made no answer.
"Mr Thumble shall proceed from hence to Hogglestock on next Sunday," said the chaplain, "and shall relieve you for the present from the burden of your duties. As to the future status of the parish, it will perhaps be best that nothing shall be done till the dean returns, or perhaps till the assizes shall be over. This is the bishop's opinion."
It would be too long to tell now how gradually had come about that changed state of things which made such a visit possible. Mr Crawley had at first declared that such a thing was quite out of the question. If St Ewold's was to depend upon it St Ewold's must be given up. And I think that it would have been impossible for him to go direct from Hogglestock to Plumstead.
Had there been much said between the mother and the daughter about the lover, no doubt all this would have been explained; but Grace was very reticent, and there were other matters in the Hogglestock household which in those days occupied Mrs Crawley's mind. How were they again to begin life? for, in very truth, life as it had existed with them before, had been brought to an end.
May this discipline be blessed to you, and to the dear children! I have much to tell you of Barchester. You know how strong is my objection to fancy fairs or bazaars, too often rather scenes of giddy merriment than exhibitions of genuine Christian feeling. You have heard of Hogglestock, though you may never have visited that benighted and outlying parish.
The Framley property did not run into the parish of Hogglestock; but nevertheless Lady Lufton did what she could in the way of kindness to these new-comers. Providence had not supplied Hogglestock with a Lady Lufton, or with any substitute in the shape of lord or lady, squire or squiress.
Not but what poor Mrs Proudie is the dearest friend I have in the world, and I'm always fighting a battle with old Lady Lufton on her behalf. But one likes to see one's friends worsted sometimes, you know." "I don't quite understand what did happen at Hogglestock on the Sunday," said the major. "Some say he had the bishop's chaplain put under the pump.
Dr Tempest had also heard that Mr Crawley had submitted himself to the bishop, that instant advantage, and, as Dr Tempest thought, unfair advantage, had been taken of Mr Crawley's submission, and that the pernicious Mr Thumble had been at once sent over to Hogglestock.
