Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 6 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"I should imagine not."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Your conjecture is totally wrong, I assure you. My mind was more agreeably engaged. I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
