Miss Bingley and her brother Written by Johanna Elisabet (1/13/2004 10:37 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, The Bingley Sisters -- Chapter 4, penned by kathleen (elder)

]They also seem to be generally dismissive of their brother's opinions,

I read all the dialouge between Miss Bingley and her brother in these 12 chapters, and I could only find one instance where she had to agree with him. When Mrs Bennet found Jane too ill to be moved. But she did it with cold civility so I think she would have argued about that too if it wouldn´t reflect bad upon her own character.

I don´t think we are told how old the Bingley siblings are, but I think that Mr Bingley might be the youngest. Being an older sister myself I don´t always listen to or agree with my younger brothers (I´m working on it :)).
