Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 10 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"To yield readily - easily - to the persuasion of a friend is no merit with you."
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 easy one from chapter 10.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
