CHAPTER TWO
A Young Man of Proud Manners
Mr. Bingley returned Mr. Benet's visit after a few days. They sat together about ten minutes in the library. Mr. Bingley had hoped to see the daughters. He had heard that they were very beautiful. However, he was only able to see the father.
Mr. Bennet would not tell his daughters about the young man. But they had information from Elizabeth's friend, Charlotte Lucas. Charlotte said that Mr. Bingley was very handsome, and he had a very nice personality. Most importantly, he was planning to go to the next dance in Meryton. The girls all looked forward to the dance, for dancing was often a sure step towards falling in love.
On the night of the dance, Mr. Bingley came with his single sister, Caroline, his married sister, Mrs. Hurst, and another young man. Charles Bingley was indeed very good-looking, and had easy, friendly manners. Everyone was interested in his friend, Mr. Darcy. He was a fine, tall man. His face was handsome and he seemed very noble. There was a rumor that he owned a large piece of land at Pemberley, in Derbyshire. Later, everyone discovered that he was proud, rude, and thought that other people were not as good as him.
