Description

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

Darcy and Bingley, young and wealthy bachelors both, being thrown to the husband-hunting sharks of Merryton. The poor fools don't know what they're in for!
We're about to see a pitched battle between Mrs. Bennet and Mrs. Long- who will get to the bachelors first?

I've read that at this point in history, so many eligible men were being sent to battle or conscripted that there really WAS a huge shortage of marriageable males. Considering that securing a husband was the only honorable way for a woman to earn a living, Mrs. Bennet's pushiness regarding her daughetrs' marriages was quite heroic.
