Elizabeth and Jane were summoned from the shrubbery by the arrival of some of the persons of whom they had been speaking; Mr. Bingley and his sisters came to give their personal invitation for the long expected ball at Netherfield. The two ladies were delighted to see their dear friend again, and called it an age since they had met. In Chapter 17 of Jane Austen’s masterpiece Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Bingley and his sisters came to Longbourn to give their personal invitation for the long expected ball at Netherfield.
