Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 35 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Be not alarmed, madam, on receiving this letter, by the apprehension of its containing any repetition of those sentiments, or renewal of those offers, which were last night so disgusting to you. I write without any intention of paining you, or humbling myself, by dwelling on wishes, which, for the happiness of both, cannot be too soon forgotten; and the effort which the formation and the perusal of this letter must occasion, should have been spared, had not my character required it to be written and read. You must, therefore, pardon the freedom with which I demand your attention; your feelings, I know, will bestow it unwillingly, but I demand it of your justice.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
