Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 37 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Oh, your father, of course, may spare you, if your mother can. Daughters are never of so much consequence to a father. And if you will stay another month complete, it will be in my power to take one of you as far as London, for I am going there early in June, for a week; and as Dawson does not object to the barouche-box, there will be very good room for one of you - and, indeed, if the weather should happen to be cool, I should not object to taking you both, as you are neither of you large."
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 37.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
