Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 23 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"I should not mind anything at all."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"I never can be thankful, Mr. Bennet, for anything about the entail. How anyone could have the conscience to entail away an estate from one's own daughters I cannot understand; and all for the sake of Mr. Collins, too! Why should he have it more than anybody else?"
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
