"
Oh
!
"
said
Lydia
stoutly
,
"
I
am
not
afraid
;
for
though
I
am
the
youngest
,
I
'm
the
tallest
.
"
The
rest
of
the
evening
was
spent
in
conjecturing
how
soon
he
would
return
Mr.
Bennet
's
visit
,
and
determining
when
they
should
ask
him
to
dinner
.
Not
all
that
Mrs.
Bennet
,
however
,
with
the
assistance
of
her
five
daughters
,
could
ask
on
the
subject
,
was
sufficient
to
draw
from
her
husband
any
satisfactory
description
of
Mr.
Bingley
.
They
attacked
him
in
various
ways
--
with
barefaced
questions
,
ingenious
suppositions
,
and
distant
surmises
;
but
he
eluded
the
skill
of
them
all
,
and
they
were
at
last
obliged
to
accept
the
second-hand
intelligence
of
their
neighbour
,
Lady
Lucas
.
Her
report
was
highly
favourable
.
Sir
William
had
been
delighted
with
him
.
He
was
quite
young
,
wonderfully
handsome
,
extremely
agreeable
,
and
,
to
crown
the
whole
,
he
meant
to
be
at
the
next
assembly
with
a
large
party
.
Nothing
could
be
more
delightful
!
To
be
fond
of
dancing
was
a
certain
step
towards
falling
in
love
;
and
very
lively
hopes
of
Mr.
Bingley
's
heart
were
entertained
.
"
If
I
can
but
see
one
of
my
daughters
happily
settled
at
Netherfield
,
"
said
Mrs.
Bennet
to
her
husband
,
"
and
all
the
others
equally
well
married
,
I
shall
have
nothing
to
wish
for
.
"
In
a
few
days
Mr.
Bingley
returned
Mr.
Bennet
's
visit
,
and
sat
about
ten
minutes
with
him
in
his
library
.
He
had
entertained
hopes
of
being
admitted
to
a
sight
of
the
young
ladies
,
of
whose
beauty
he
had
heard
much
;
but
he
saw
only
the
father
.
The
ladies
were
somewhat
more
fortunate
,
for
they
had
the
advantage
of
ascertaining
from
an
upper
window
that
he
wore
a
blue
coat
,
and
rode
a
black
horse
.
An
invitation
to
dinner
was
soon
afterwards
dispatched
;
and
already
had
Mrs.
Bennet
planned
the
courses
that
were
to
do
credit
to
her
housekeeping
,
when
an
answer
arrived
which
deferred
it
all
.
Mr.
Bingley
was
obliged
to
be
in
town
the
following
day
,
and
,
consequently
,
unable
to
accept
the
honour
of
their
invitation
,
etc.
.
Mrs.
Bennet
was
quite
disconcerted
.
She
could
not
imagine
what
business
he
could
have
in
town
so
soon
after
his
arrival
in
Hertfordshire
;
and
she
began
to
fear
that
he
might
be
always
flying
about
from
one
place
to
another
,
and
never
settled
at
Netherfield
as
he
ought
to
be
.
Lady
Lucas
quieted
her
fears
a
little
by
starting
the
idea
of
his
being
gone
to
London
only
to
get
a
large
party
for
the
ball
;
and
a
report
soon
followed
that
Mr.
Bingley
was
to
bring
twelve
ladies
and
seven
gentlemen
with
him
to
the
assembly
.
The
girls
grieved
over
such
a
number
of
ladies
,
but
were
comforted
the
day
before
the
ball
by
hearing
,
that
instead
of
twelve
he
brought
only
six
with
him
from
London
--
his
five
sisters
and
a
cousin
.
And
when
the
party
entered
the
assembly
room
it
consisted
of
only
five
altogether
--
Mr.
Bingley
,
his
two
sisters
,
the
husband
of
the
eldest
,
and
another
young
man
.
Mr.
Bingley
was
good-looking
and
gentlemanlike
;
he
had
a
pleasant
countenance
,
and
easy
,
unaffected
manners
.
His
sisters
were
fine
women
,
with
an
air
of
decided
fashion
.
His
brother-in-law
,
Mr.
Hurst
,
merely
looked
the
gentleman
;
but
his
friend
Mr.
Darcy
soon
drew
the
attention
of
the
room
by
his
fine
,
tall
person
,
handsome
features
,
noble
mien
,
and
the
report
which
was
in
general
circulation
within
five
minutes
after
his
entrance
,
of
his
having
ten
thousand
a
year
.
The
gentlemen
pronounced
him
to
be
a
fine
figure
of
a
man
,
the
ladies
declared
he
was
much
handsomer
than
Mr.
Bingley
,
and
he
was
looked
at
with
great
admiration
for
about
half
the
evening
,
till
his
manners
gave
a
disgust
which
turned
the
tide
of
his
popularity
;
for
he
was
discovered
to
be
proud
;
to
be
above
his
company
,
and
above
being
pleased
;
and
not
all
his
large
estate
in
Derbyshire
could
then
save
him
from
having
a
most
forbidding
,
disagreeable
countenance
,
and
being
unworthy
to
be
compared
with
his
friend
.
Mr.
Bingley
had
soon
made
himself
acquainted
with
all
the
principal
people
in
the
room
;
he
was
lively
and
unreserved
,
danced
every
dance
,
was
angry
that
the
ball
closed
so
early
,
and
talked
of
giving
one
himself
at
Netherfield
.
Such
amiable
qualities
must
speak
for
themselves
.
What
a
contrast
between
him
and
his
friend
!
Mr.
Darcy
danced
only
once
with
Mrs.
Hurst
and
once
with
Miss
Bingley
,
declined
being
introduced
to
any
other
lady
,
and
spent
the
rest
of
the
evening
in
walking
about
the
room
,
speaking
occasionally
to
one
of
his
own
party
.
His
character
was
decided
.
He
was
the
proudest
,
most
disagreeable
man
in
the
world
,
and
everybody
hoped
that
he
would
never
come
there
again
.
Amongst
the
most
violent
against
him
was
Mrs.
Bennet
,
whose
dislike
of
his
general
behaviour
was
sharpened
into
particular
resentment
by
his
having
slighted
one
of
her
daughters
.
Elizabeth
Bennet
had
been
obliged
,
by
the
scarcity
of
gentlemen
,
to
sit
down
for
two
dances
;
and
during
part
of
that
time
,
Mr.
Darcy
had
been
standing
near
enough
for
her
to
hear
a
conversation
between
him
and
Mr.
Bingley
,
who
came
from
the
dance
for
a
few
minutes
,
to
press
his
friend
to
join
it
.
"
Come
,
Darcy
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
must
have
you
dance
.
I
hate
to
see
you
standing
about
by
yourself
in
this
stupid
manner
.
You
had
much
better
dance
.
"
