Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 25 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
After a week spent in professions of love and schemes of felicity, Mr. Collins was called from his amiable Charlotte by the arrival of Saturday. The pain of separation, however, might be alleviated on his side by preparations for the reception of his bride, as he had reason to hope, that shortly after his next return into Hertfordshire, the day would be fixed that was to make him the happiest of men. He took leave of his relations at Longbourn with as much solemnity as before; wished his fair cousins health and happiness again, and promised their father another letter of thanks.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 25.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
