Leave Netherfield! Oh! Oh!
Bingley.
[Still more ill at ease.] Yes.—It is a very sudden decision, but—but important interests have made it necessary for me to—[Lamely.] to leave Netherfield.
Sir William.

Mrs. Bennet.
Why, surely, Mr. Bingley, you will be back again very soon.
Bingley.
[In a dogged manner.] No—no. I am afraid my returning at all is extremely uncertain. In fact, I—I expect to leave Netherfield permanently.
