Person
Charles Bingley
Also known as Mr. Bingley, Bingley.
A young man of large fortune from the north of England who takes Netherfield Park and sets the neighbourhood astir. Amiable, open, and easily led, he is liked at once by everyone, and he is the close friend of Mr. Darcy, whose graver judgement he trusts perhaps too far.
Chapter III
He dances twice with Jane Bennet at the assembly and is plainly taken with her.
Chapter XI
Through Jane's stay at Netherfield his preference for her is plain to everyone, perhaps, but himself.
Chapter XVIII
At his own ball he dances with Jane and singles her out, and the neighbourhood holds the match as good as made.
Chapter XXI
He quits Netherfield for London and does not return, persuaded by his sisters and his friend that the attachment was unwise.
Chapter XXXV
Chapter LV
He comes back to Hertfordshire and proposes to Jane, his own heart having been steady all along.
