Over the next two weeks, Bingley's party and Darcy attend several private get-to-know-you events that invariably include the popular Bennet family from Longbourn (2,000 pounds a year) – Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Jane, Elizabeth, and three younger daughters, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. During these events, Darcy comes to believe that he dismissed Elizabeth too quickly. He observes her to have wit, grace, compassion, intelligence, and, unlike her mother and younger sisters, manners. He also notices her beauty that initially escaped his notice because he was in a surly mood. As an added bonus, she sings a wonderful soprano at Sunday church services.
