Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 53 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"The first wish of my heart," said she to herself, "is never more to be in company with either of them. Their society can afford no pleasure that will atone for such wretchedness as this! Let me never see either one or the other again!"
The sentence you are solving goes here.
When the gentlemen rose to go away, Mrs. Bennet was mindful of her intended civility, and they were invited and engaged to dine at Longbourn in a few days' time.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
