The first of the Bingley children to marry was, naturally, the eldest: Mr. Frank Bingley. Whilst visiting a school friend, Frank attended a party. Thither his heart was captured by an accomplished young woman playing the music that the other young people danced to.
Although in looks Frank resembles most closely his Aunt Bingley, his mind and humor resemble his favorite Aunt Darcy, and having such a ready wit as Elizabeth Darcy’s will surely soften any harsh countenance. Additionally, Frank being his father’s heir certainly could not condemn him, as it is common knowledge that every rich young man must be in want of a wife.
Mr. Frank Bingley was introduced to the eldest Miss Wirth, a gentleman’s daughter with a small dowry, but being delighted with everything about her and sensing Miss Wirth’s equal affection, Frank proposed immediately; he was rejected immediately. Embarrassed and angry, Frank returned to Norwell Abbey shortly afterwards. Realizing he was out of humor, Frank’s godparents -- his Uncle and Aunt Darcy -- managed to procure the story from him. Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy proceeded to tell their most-beloved godson of their own courtship. As soon as they’d finished, Frank leapt up and called for his carriage. He returned to the home of Miss Wirth, whither he requested an audience with her. Upon obtaining this audience, Frank did not propose again. Instead, he begged Miss Wirth’s leave to court her; she unreservedly agreed. They were married one year later, and had their first child one year after that. The baby was named Jane Sophia Bingley; Jane for Frank’s mother and Sophia for Frank’s wife and mother-in-law. Jenny’s godparents were Bennet and Georgina (nee Wickham) Darcy, who were married shortly after Bennet completed school.
The next of the Bingley children to be engaged was, unnaturally, the middle one: Miss Rose Bingley. She was eighteen years when George, who had been living at Norwell since he was a toddler, returned from school, having recently taken orders. The two fell instantly into the ease and warmth that they’d known since they were small children. Three days after George had returned home, he and Rose were taking a walk through one of Norwell Abbey’s gardens when George asked Rose to be his wife. She agreed, having loved him for many years. Her parents’ permission was obtained, as George was a respectable young man – far removed from his progenitors. Unfortunately, George had no living lined up, and he did not feel right marrying on nothing.
It took one year for George to find a vicarage that he could marry on. As soon as it was obtained, he and Rose married. One year later, Rose gave birth to identical twin boys. When the time came to Christen the babes, George didn’t want to name either of the boys George. Therefore, the twins were named after the two father figures he’d known, Charles Bingley and Fitzwilliam Darcy, and George’s particular friends, Frank Bingley and Bennet Darcy. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bingley and Mr. and Mrs. Bennet Darcy also served as Charlie’s and Billy’s godparents, respectively.
The third of the Bingley children to be engaged, although the second to be married: Miss Flora Bingley. Miss Bingley perfectly resembles her mother, in countenance and character; Mr. Thomas Saunders is the son of a friend of Mrs. Hurst. Their first meeting was at a party held by Mr. and Mrs. Hurst when Flora was seventeen. Mr. Saunders doted upon Flora, dancing with her at almost every opportunity and conversing with her the entire night. But, just as in the infamous incident of Mr. Bingley and Jane Bennet, Mr. Saunders began to suspect that Flora was cold-hearted. He visited her twice more, but was deterred by Flora’s placid countenance. Four years passed before they saw each other again. Flora was once more in London visiting her Aunts Bingley and Hurst, her Uncle Hurst having died three years hence. Mr. Saunders was invited to another party Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley were holding. When Flora spotted Mr. Saunders, the shock was too much, and she fled the room directly. He followed her, encouraged by such a show of emotion. Upon entering the next room, Mr. Saunders was so astonished to see Flora sobbing uncontrollably that he dropped to one knee without thinking. He begged for her hand, confessing that a day had not passed without his thinking of her. Flora accepted through her tears. They were married as soon as possible and have been happily settled in Mr. Saunders’ estate.
