Mr. Charles Bingley, the new tenant of Netherfield Park, Hertfordshire, is much sought after by the neighbouring families of marriageable daughters. Jane, the eldest of the four daughters of Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet, of Longbourne, attracts his chief attention at the Assembly Hall. His arrogant friend, Mr. Darcy, however, in spite of an even more handsome appearance, and an even larger fortune, creates an unfavourable impression, especially on Miss Elizabeth Bennet, a young lady of considerable spirit.
