Evidence:
'Mr [James Chesterton] Bradley always found great pleasure in recalling the fact that he was the prototype of Mr Sweeting [in Charlotte Bronte's novel Shirley], although he declared that the meetings of the curates at each other's lodgings were exclusively for a series of two-hours' readings of the Greek fathers, and not for the drunken orgies described in Shirley.'
