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.
"Now I am quite happy," said she, "for you will be as happy as myself. I always had a value for him. Were it for nothing but his love of you, I must always have esteemed him; but now, as Bingley's friend and your husband, there can be only Bingley and yourself more dear to me. But, Lizzy, you have been very sly, very reserved with me. How little did you tell me of what passed at Pemberley and Lambton! I owe all that I know of it to another, not to you."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 59.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
