Mr. Robinson is a resident of Meryton, who becomes acquainted with Charles Bingley. At the Meryton Assembly, he asks Bingley how he liked it, whether he did not think there were a great many pretty women in the room, and which he thought was the prettiest. Charlotte Lucas overhears Bingley answer that he thought Jane Bennet was the prettiest, which she repeats to Mrs. Bennet the next day.
