Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 25 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
To Mrs. Gardiner, Wickham had one means of affording pleasure, unconnected with his general powers. About ten or a dozen years ago, before her marriage, she had spent a considerable time in that very part of Derbyshire to which he belonged. They had, therefore, many acquaintance in common; and, though Wickham had been little there since the death of Darcy's father, five years before, it was yet in his power to give her fresher intelligence of her former friends than she had been in the way of procuring.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
