Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 54 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Mrs. Bennet had designed to keep the two Netherfield gentlemen to supper; but their carriage was, unluckily, ordered before any of the others, and she had no opportunity of detaining them.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Mrs. Bennet, in short, was in very great spirits: she had seen enough of Bingley's behaviour to Jane to be convinced that she would get him at last; and her expectations of advantage to her family, when in a happy humour, were so far beyond reason, that she was quite disappointed at not seeing him there again the next day, to make his proposals.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
