Mr.Bingley had not been of age two years, when he was tempted by an accidental recommendation to look at Netherfield House.

He did look at it, and into it for half-an-hour--was pleased with the situation and the principal rooms, satisfied with what the owner said in its praise, and took it immediately.
Between him and Darcy there was a very steady friendship, in spite of great opposition of character.

Bingley was endeared to Darcy by the easiness, openness, and ductility of his temper, though no disposition could offer a greater contrast to his own, and though with his own he never appeared dissatisfied.

On the strength of Darcy's regard, Bingley had the firmest reliance, and of his judgement the highest opinion.
In understanding, Darcy was the superior.

Bingley was by no means deficient, but Darcy was clever.
