Are you new?

]If this was a re-reading of P&P, what did you notice that you hadn't noticed before?

Ok. don't laugh ,buT I discovered that Bingley has only two sisters! and all these years I thought they were five !!!
Thanks to Kathleen ,she took the responsibiltity of explaning this to me , just imagine I was following the rumors of Meryton!

" Lady Lucas quieted her fears a little by starting the idea of his being gone to London only to get a large party for the ball; and a report soon followed, that Mr. Bingley was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly. The girls grieved over such a number of ladies, but were comforted the day before the ball by hearing that instead of twelve he had brought only six with him from London -- his five sisters and a cousin. 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.
