It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife however little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood! The truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that he is considered as the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. My dear, Mr Bennet, said his lady to him one day, Have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last? Mr Bennett replied that he had not. But it is returned she, for Mrs Long has just been here, and she told me all about it. Mr Bennet made no answer. Do you not want to know who's taking it? Cried his wife impatiently. You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it. That was invitation enough. Why, my dear, you must know. Mrs Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England, that he came down on monday in a shades and four, to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that he agreed with Mr Norris, immediately that he is to take possession of it before Michael Miss, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week. What is his name? Bingley? Is he married or single? Oh, single, my dear. To be sure, a single man of large Fortune four or 5000 year! What a fine thing for our girls! How so how can it affect them? My dear Mr Bennet, replied his wife. How can you be so tiresome? You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them. Is that his design in settling here? Design nonsense. How can you talk so? But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes.
