Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 43 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Elizabeth felt that they had entirely mistaken his character, but said nothing.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Elizabeth here felt herself called on to say something in vindication of his behaviour to Wickham; and, therefore, gave them to understand, in as guarded a manner as she could, that by what she had heard from his relations in Kent, his actions were capable of a very different construction; and that his character was by no means so faulty, nor Wickham's so amiable, as they had been considered in Hertfordshire. In confirmation of this, she related the particulars of all the pecuniary transactions in which they had been connected, without actually naming her authority, but stating it to be such as might be relied on.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
