Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 55 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Wickham, Lydia, were all forgotten. Jane was beyond competition her favourite child. At that moment she cared for no other. Her younger sisters soon began to make interest with her for objects of happiness which she might in future be able to dispense.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Bingley, from this time, was of course a daily visitor at Longbourn; coming frequently before breakfast, and always remaining till after supper; unless when some barbarous neighbour, who could not be enough detested, had given him an invitation to dinner, which he thought himself obliged to accept.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
