Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 16 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"As much as I ever wish to be," cried Elizabeth, warmly. "I have spent four days in the same house with him, and I think him very disagreeable."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Upon my word I say no more here than I might say in any house in the neighbourhood, except Netherfield. He is not at all liked in Hertfordshire. Everybody is disgusted with his pride. You will not find him more favourably spoken of by anyone."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
