Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 53 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Elizabeth particularly, who knew that her mother owed to the latter the preservation of her favourite daughter from irremediable infamy, was hurt and distressed to a most painful degree by a distinction so ill applied.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Could I expect it to be otherwise?" said she. "Yet why did he come?"
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
