Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 20 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Mr. Collins, meanwhile, was meditating in solitude on what had passed. He thought too well of himself to comprehend on what motive his cousin could refuse him; and though his pride was hurt, he suffered in no other way. His regard for her was quite imaginary; and the possibility of her deserving her mother's reproach prevented his feeling any regret.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 20.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
