I don't think there are any other Bingley siblings Written by kathleen (elder) (1/17/2004 6:25 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, This is only my guess..., penned by Diana

There is no indication in the novel that Bingley has more than 2 sisters. He could have used "eldest" instead of "elder" -- or perhaps JA herself used the two words interchangeably.
