He could hire horses Written by kathleen (elder) (4/23/2010 3:02 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, It doesn't say, penned by CarolTS

just as the Hursts do. I think it's possible that he has a small carriage that could hold 2 or 3 people. That would leave the Bennet's carriage to carry the remaining 5 or 6 people to the Netherfield Ball.
