Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 54 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Her resolution was for a short time involuntarily kept by the approach of her sister, who joined her with a cheerful look which showed her better satisfied with their visitors than Elizabeth.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Yes, very indifferent, indeed," said Elizabeth, laughingly. "Oh, Jane! take care."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
