Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 59 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"You are joking, Lizzy. This cannot be! Engaged to Mr. Darcy! No, no, you shall not deceive me: I know it to be impossible."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Jane looked at her doubtingly. "Oh, Lizzy! it cannot be. I know how much you dislike him."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
