Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 11 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Nothing so easy, if you have but the inclination," said Elizabeth. "We can all plague and punish one another. Tease him - laugh at him. Intimate as you are, you must know how it is to be done."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Mr. Darcy is not to be laughed at!" cried Elizabeth. "That is an uncommon advantage, and uncommon I hope it will continue, for it would be a great loss to me to have many such acquaintance. I dearly love a laugh."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
