There are times I question the wisdom of my staying in a house where resided an eligible young lady. Not that I expect anything improper to occur. They say, "Better safe than sorry". And I completely agree.

Bingley is a dear friend. I have nothing against him.

However, the same cannot be said for other acquaintances of mine.

On a completely unrelated note, first impression can be, under certain circumstances, slightly inaccurate. At times, it is a welcome change, at times, it is not.

I am currently trying to decide which one it is, this time.

I am being vague, I am perfectly aware of the fact. However, I have no wish to elaborate.
