It is a truth universally and knowledge 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 neighbourhood. This truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families that is considered 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 the Netherfield Park is led at last? Mr Bennet replied. Here not, but it is return. She for Mrs Long has just been here, and she told me all about it. Mr. Bennett made no answer. Did you not want to know who has taken it? Cried his wife impatiently. You want to tell me? And I'm the objection to here in it. This was invitation enough. Why, my dear, you must know. Mrs Long says the netter feels this taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England that he came down on Monday in a shays in four to set a place and was so much delighted with it that He agreed with Mr Morris immediately that he used to take possession before Michaelmas and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week. What is his name? Bingley. As a merit or single? Oh, single, my dear, to be sure. A single man of large fortune four or 5000 here. What a fine thing for our girls. And so how can it affect them? My dear Mr Bennet replied his wife, How can you be so tiresome? You must know. Did I am thinking of his marrying one of them. The Standard's design is seven 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.
