I never heard any harm of her; and I dare say she is one of the most tractable creatures in the world.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 33.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
As she spoke, she observed him looking at her earnestly; and the manner in which he immediately asked her why she supposed Miss Darcy likely to give them any uneasiness, convinced her that she had somehow or other got pretty near the truth. She directly replied, -
"You need not be frightened. I never heard any harm of her; and I dare say she is one of the most tractable creatures in the world. She is a very great favourite with some ladies of my acquaintance, Mrs. Hurst and Miss Bingley. I think I have heard you say that you know them."
"I know them a little. Their brother is a pleasant, gentlemanlike man - he is a great friend of Darcy's."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
