Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 13 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Elizabeth was chiefly struck with his extraordinary deference for Lady Catherine, and his kind intention of christening, marrying, and burying his parishioners whenever it were required.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 13.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
