Too Generous A Soul

The morning after the Netherfield Ball, Mr Bingley was summoned away on urgent business... before speaking to Mr Darcy or his sisters.

Leaving without either a planned return date or taking leave of his neighbors would have been the height of rudeness, so Mr Bingley wrote to Sir William and Mr Bennet, explaining his hasty departure and intent to return, asking them to make his excuses. The letter to Mr Bennet also included a missive to Miss Jane Bennet, requesting a courtship upon his return. "Too Generous A Soul takes a closer look at the relationship between Jane Bennet and Charles Bingley, a love gentler, but no less tumultuous, than the passionate fire between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth.
