Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 8 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"She has nothing, in short, to recommend her, but being an excellent walker. I shall never forget her appearance this morning. She really looked almost wild."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Yes, and her petticoat; I hope you saw her petticoat, six inches deep in mud, I am absolutely certain, and the gown which had been let down to hide it not doing its office."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
