Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 34 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"You take an eager interest in that gentleman's concerns," said Darcy, in a less tranquil tone, and with a heightened colour.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"His misfortunes!" repeated Darcy, contemptuously, - "yes, his misfortunes have been great indeed."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
