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.
But of this answer Lydia heard not a word. She seldom listened to anybody for more than half a minute, and never attended to Mary at all.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
She had not been many hours at home, before she found that the Brighton scheme, of which Lydia had given them a hint at the inn, was under frequent discussion between her parents. Elizabeth saw directly that her father had not the smallest intention of yielding; but his answers were at the same time so vague and equivocal, that her mother, though often disheartened, had never yet despaired of succeeding at last.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
