Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 47 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Well, then, - supposing them to be in London - they may be there, though for the purpose of concealment, for no more exceptionable purpose. It is not likely that money should be very abundant on either side; and it might strike them that they could be more economically, though less expeditiously, married in London, than in Scotland."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"But can you think that Lydia is so lost to everything but love of him, as to consent to live with him on any other terms than marriage?"
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
