Bigoted? A bishop must step in right away (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

narrow

'bigoted?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a bishop must step in right away' is the wordplay.
'bishop' becomes 'rr' (abbreviation for Right Reverend).
'must step in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'right away' becomes 'now' (both can mean immediately).
'a'+'rr'='arr'
'arr' put into 'now' is 'NARROW'.

(Other definitions for narrow that I've seen before include "Small in breadth" , "Restrict" , "Cramped" , "Small-minded" , "Conservative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
