Where it comes from

Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 58 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.

"We will not quarrel for the greater share of blame annexed to that evening," said Elizabeth. "The conduct of neither, if strictly examined, will be irreproachable; but since then we have both, I hope, improved in civility."

The sentence you are solving goes here.

"I was certainly very far from expecting them to make so strong an impression. I had not the smallest idea of their being ever felt in such a way."

Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
