  a report soon followed that Mr. Bingley was to bring twelve ladies and seven gentlemen with him to the assembly

  A rumour, corrected in the same paragraph: the party that entered the room was five.

  Chapter III says Bingley danced with Jane twice. Dances went in pairs: he asked her for the two next, and later the two fifth, so twice is four dances.

  Darcy's opinion of Elizabeth's looks really changes in chapter VI. The earlier value holds until then, so there is nothing to fix.
