Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 29 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Lady Catherine seemed quite astonished at not receiving a direct answer; and Elizabeth suspected herself to be the first creature who had ever dared to trifle with so much dignified impertinence.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"I am not one-and-twenty."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
