"Darcy, you always have a plan," Bingley laughed.

"When you have your own estate, you'll see," Darcy assured him. "You can't leave things to chance or whim."

"And what is your plan this week?"

"I'm visiting you."

"Are you going to follow my whims, then?"

"I'm in good humour today, so I'll say yes."

"Then join me, I'm going to visit that neighbour who called the other day."

"Is that the one you were just telling me about?"

"With the five daughters, yes," Bingley said. "He seemed an interesting fellow. It's only about three miles from here, nothing on horseback."
