Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 3 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"If he had had any compassion for me," cried her husband impatiently, "he would not have danced half so much! For God's sake, say no more of his partners. O that he had sprained his ancle in the first dance!"
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Here she was interrupted again. Mr. Bennet protested against any description of finery. She was therefore obliged to seek another branch of the subject, and related, with much bitterness of spirit, and some exaggeration, the shocking rudeness of Mr. Darcy.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
