Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 20 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"What do you mean, Mr. Bennet, by talking in this way? You promised me to insist upon her marrying him."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 20.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
