Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 7 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Well, my dear," said Mr. Bennet, when Elizabeth had read the note aloud, "if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness - if she should die - it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley, and under your orders."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Elizabeth, feeling really anxious, determined to go to her, though the carriage was not to be had: and as she was no horsewoman, walking was her only alternative. She declared her resolution.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
