Where it comes from

Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 58 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.

She explained what its effects on her had been, and how gradually all her former prejudices had been removed.

The sentence you are solving goes here.

"The letter shall certainly be burnt, if you believe it essential to the preservation of my regard; but, though we have both reason to think my opinions not entirely unalterable, they are not, I hope, quite so easily changed as that implies."

Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
