Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 46 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Elizabeth had been a good deal disappointed in not finding a letter from Jane on their first arrival at Lambton; and this disappointment had been renewed on each of the mornings that had now been spent there; but on the third her repining was over, and her sister justified, by the receipt of two letters from her at once, on one of which was marked that it had been mis-sent elsewhere. Elizabeth was not surprised at it, as Jane had written the direction remarkably ill.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 46.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
