Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 43 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"There is also one other person in the party," he continued after a pause, "who more particularly wishes to be known to you. Will you allow me, or do I ask too much, to introduce my sister to your acquaintance during your stay at Lambton?"
The sentence you are solving goes here.
They now walked on in silence; each of them deep in thought. Elizabeth was not comfortable; that was impossible; but she was flattered and pleased. His wish of introducing his sister to her was a compliment of the highest kind. They soon outstripped the others; and when they had reached the carriage, Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner were half a quarter of a mile behind.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
