Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 51 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Well, and so, just as the carriage came to the door, my uncle was called away upon business to that horrid man Mr. Stone. And then, you know, when once they get together, there is no end of it. Well, I was so frightened I did not know what to do, for my uncle was to give me away; and if we were beyond the hour we could not be married all day. But, luckily, he came back again in ten minutes' time, and then we all set out. However, I recollected afterwards, that if he had been prevented going, the wedding need not be put off, for Mr. Darcy might have done as well."
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 51.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
