Transcripción
Panel 1: Mrs. Bennet drops onto the sofa across from him, leaning forward, radiant, hands already flying. This is her stage. Panel 2: Close on Mrs. Bennet, breathless with excitement, ticking the facts off on her fingers. Mrs. Bennet: "His name's Bingley. Young. Single." Panel 3: An insert of her phone screen held up — a social profile photo of a bright-smiling, friendly young man. Panel 4: Close on Mrs. Bennet lowering the phone, eyes glittering, landing the real point. Mrs. Bennet: "And he is loaded." Panel 5: Mr. Bennet glances over the top of his glasses — a flicker of interest — then back down to the screen. Mr. Bennet: "How is that my business?" Panel 6: Close on Mrs. Bennet, scandalized that he would even ask, a hand to her chest. Mrs. Bennet: "How can you be so tiresome?"

Acerca de este capítulo
Netherfield, the cool glass mansion on the hill, has finally been rented — and Mrs. Bennet has already decided one of her five daughters will marry whoever moved in. She corners her unbothered husband to demand he go make friends with the new arrival: a young, single, very rich man named Bingley. Mr. Bennet needles her with dry affection, offers to put in a good word for Lizzie, and gives his verdict that Lizzie has a bit more going on than her sisters. The chapter ends by revealing the household the whole scheme is about — the five Bennet daughters — as Mrs. Bennet announces the house has a new project.
