And when the party entered the assembly room it consisted of only five altogether - Mr
Bingley, his two sisters, the husband of the eldest, and another young man.
Mr Bingley was good-looking and gentlemanlike; he had a pleasant countenance, and easy,
unaffected manners. His sisters were fine women, with an air of decided fashion. His brother-
in-law, Mr Hurst, merely looked the gentleman; but his friend Mr Darcy soon drew the
attention of the room by his fine, tall person, handsome features, noble mien, and the report
which was in general circulation within five minutes after his entrance, of his having ten
thousand a year. The gentlemen pronounced him to be a fine figure of a man, the ladies
declared he was much handsomer than Mr Bingley, and he was looked at with great
admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of
his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud; to be above his company, and above being
pleased; and not all his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most
forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared with his friend.

Homework
Ideally
students
should
be
able
to
do
the
homework
assignment
based
only
in
their
reading
of
the
book;
however,
if
they
are
reading
at
a
slow
pace,
an
internet
search
can
help.
Emphasise
that
websites
are
just
for
further
information
and
ideas
–
their
paragraphs
have
to
be
written
in
their
own
language.
