Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 57 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
The surprise of the rest of the family, on hearing who their visitor had been, was very great: but they obligingly satisfied it with the same kind of supposition which had appeased Mrs. Bennet's curiosity; and Elizabeth was spared from much teasing on the subject.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Lizzy," said he, "I was going to look for you: come into my room."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
