Features: "A man of great wealth who is yet unmarried must surely need a good wife, and this is a truth universally acknowledged." Therefore, when such a man moved to the vicinity of the Bennet family, Mrs. Bennet was overjoyed. She immediately felt that Mr. Bingley was very likely—or almost certainly—to marry one of her five daughters. "They all say he is young, handsome, and particularly charming!" declared the foolish Lydia. She was the youngest of the Bennet sisters. "And there's more! He loves to dance! It's well known that loving to dance means he is very likely to fall in love with someone!" But with whom? Soon, Elizabeth Bennet was convinced that he had a particular fondness for her eldest sister, Jane. Without a doubt, whenever they had the opportunity to meet, he paid her great attention. But who would dare say that fondness always leads to marriage, or even happiness? However, Mr. Bingley was not the only one who had an eye on the Bennet sisters. There was also their cousin, the tedious Mr. Collins. And there were the officers in the militia—such as Mr. Wickham. Of course, there was also Mr. Darcy, a friend of Mr. Bingley—who was tall, dark-skinned, and wealthy, but also extremely rude, arrogant, and difficult to get along with.
