Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 39 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
As soon as all had ate, and the elder ones paid, the carriage was ordered; and, after some contrivance, the whole party, with all their boxes, workbags, and parcels, and the unwelcome addition of Kitty's and Lydia's purchases, were seated in it.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
With such kind of histories of their parties and good jokes did Lydia, assisted by Kitty's hints and additions, endeavour to amuse her companions all the way to Longbourn. Elizabeth listened as little as she could, but there was no escaping the frequent mention of Wickham's name.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
