 Back in the day, there were certain things that were an absolute must. For instance, every family who had a daughter/ daughters wanted them to marry rich. Mr. Bingley is a wealthy, handsome, well mannered, gentleman like man, who is from London. When the citizens of Longburn find out that he's coming to town, everyone wants first dibs on him for their daughters. Mrs. Bennett, who has five daughters, is motivated to have one of her daughters paired with Bingley.  When Bingley arrives in town, Mrs. Bennett urged Mr. Bennett to meet him; once met, Mrs. Bennett took no time to introduce her five daughters to him. At the first ball, Jane, the oldest of the five, finds an immediate attraction to Mr. Bingley. At the end of the evening, she ended up dancing with him twice. At the second ball, she danced with him twice as well. Mr. Darcy, a rich yet rude friend of Bingley, appalled the ball and had a negative attitude towards it all. Mr. Bingley replies, "I would not be as fastidious as you are Darcy, for a kingdom. Upon my honor I never met with so many pleasant girls in my eye, as I have this evening; and there are several of them, you see, uncommonly pretty!"  Mrs. Bennett seen the attraction between the two and knew it was meant to be! She immediately sent Jane on horse and buggy to Netherfield to stay the night with Bingley. Due to her cold and miserable ride to Netherfield, Jane awoke ill the next morning. She wrote her sister Eliza a letter stating her condition and Elizabeth walked to Netherfiled that night to see Jane. Upon her arrival, dirty and quite muddy from the storm, Miss Bingley, Mr. Bingleys sister, was catty on Eliza’s appearance. After Miss Bingeys comments, Mr. Bingley replies, "This was all lost upon me. I thought Miss Elizabeth Bennett looked remarking well when she came into the room this morning. Her dirty petticoat quite escaped my notice!" The family than finished the morning up with breakfast and Eliza returned to Jane.  Later that evening, Mr. Bingley and Jane have a conversation. Jane asks Mr. Bingley what the advantages were living in London appose to Longburn? Mr. Bingley states, "When I am in the country, I never wish to leave it; and when I am in town it is pretty much the same. They each have their advantages, and I can be equally happy in either!" Jane compliments him on his response and is quite surprised how Mr. Bingley can make the best of any situation.
