Mrs Bennet invites Bingley for supper, and when he comes, she tries all that she can to leave he and Jane by themselves. Elizabeth stays with them at first because she feels that Jane is a little uncomfortable with the idea of being alone with him. As the evening ends, Mrs Bennet and Bingley organise for him to come the following day to shoot with Mr Bennet where they have a good time together. When they come in, Mrs Bennet tries again to get Jane and Bingley alone, and as Elizabeth has a letter to write, she succeeds. After Elizabeth’s letter is finished, she goes to join Bingley and her sister where they are huddled together having a serious conversation. Bingley almost immediately runs off as she enters the room, and Jane tells her sister that he has proposed and has run to her father for permission. Jane is overjoyed and she runs off to tell her mother the good news. Mrs Bennet is happier than she has ever been, and immediately welcomes Bingley as a son. In the coming days, Bingley always visits Longborne, and Mrs Bennet goes off to tell the neighbours of the wonderful news.
