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.
Mrs. Bennet, to whose apartment they all repaired, after a few minutes' conversation together, received them exactly as might be expected; with tears and lamentations of regret, invectives against the villainous conduct of Wickham, and complaints of her own sufferings and ill-usage; blaming everybody but the person to whose ill-judging indulgence the errors of her daughter must be principally owing.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
They all exclaimed against such terrific ideas; and Mr. Gardiner, after general assurances of his affection for her and all her family, told her that he meant to be in London the very next day, and would assist Mr. Bennet in every endeavour for recovering Lydia.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
