That was my thought... Written by Mary Skater (9/20/2010 4:50 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Would not the dances be sets of two?, penned by Christopher

...Remembering how Mrs Bennet enumerated Mr Bingley's partners after the Meryton ball: "... and the two fourth with Maria Lucas, and the two fifth with Jane again, and the two sixth with Lizzy..."

We find this elsewhere in Austen, too. So I'd assume 2 partners for Fanny. Edmund, certainly, and maybe Yates.
