At the end of the evening it was obvious to Elizabeth that al- though her family had greatly enjoyed the ball,the Bingley sis- ters were eager for these particular guests to leave.Mr Collins, however,was enthusiastic in his praise of the Bingleys’hospi- tality,and Mrs Bennet invited the whole Bingley family to visit Longbourn as soon as possible.She was feeling very satisfied, convinced that in three or four months Jane would be married to Bingley.She was also sure that Elizabeth would marry Mr Collins.This was a good enough marriage for Elizabeth,who was her least favourite daughter,but not nearly as impressive as Jane's marriage to Bingley.
