Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 58 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"The letter, perhaps, began in bitterness, but it did not end so. The adieu is charity itself. But think no more of the letter. The feelings of the person who wrote and the person who received it are now so widely different from what they were then, that every unpleasant circumstance attending it ought to be forgotten. You must learn some of my philosophy. Think only of the past as its remembrance gives you pleasure."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Had you then persuaded yourself that I should?"
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
