Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 24 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Your first position is false. They may wish many things besides his happiness: they may wish his increase of wealth and consequence; they may wish him to marry a girl who has all the importance of money, great connections, and pride."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Elizabeth could not oppose such a wish; and from this time Mr. Bingley's name was scarcely ever mentioned between them.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
