Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 56 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"I have said no such thing. I am only resolved to act in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my happiness, without reference to you, or to any person so wholly unconnected with me."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Neither duty, nor honour, nor gratitude," replied Elizabeth, "has any possible claim on me, in the present instance. No principle of either would be violated by my marriage with Mr. Darcy. And with regard to the resentment of his family, or the indignation of the world, if the former were excited by his marrying me, it would not give me one moment's concern - and the world in general would have too much sense to join in the scorn."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
