The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"I should imagine not."
"You are considering how insupportable it would be to pass many evenings in this manner, - in such society; and, indeed, I am quite of your opinion. I was never more annoyed! The insipidity, and yet the noise - the nothingness, and yet the self-importance, of all these people! What would I give to hear your strictures on them!"
"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."
