Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 5 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"If I were as rich as Mr. Darcy," cried a young Lucas, who came with his sisters, "I should not care how proud I was. I would keep a pack of foxhounds, and drink a bottle of wine every day."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
