'gary doubly upset about bishop quarrelling' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'gary doubly upset about bishop' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'gary' is 'argy' which is located in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'bishop' could be 'b' (chess abbreviation) and 'b' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
