Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 2 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
The astonishment of the ladies was just what he wished - that of Mrs. Bennet perhaps surpassing the rest; though when the first tumult of joy was over, she began to declare that it was what she had expected all the while.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Now, Kitty, you may cough as much as you choose," said Mr. Bennet; and, as he spoke, he left the room, fatigued with the raptures of his wife.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
