Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 42 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
With the mention of Derbyshire, there were many ideas connected. It was impossible for her to see the word without thinking of Pemberley and its owner. "But surely," said she, "I may enter his county with impunity, and rob it of a few petrified spars, without his perceiving me."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
The Gardiners stayed only one night at Longbourn, and set off the next morning with Elizabeth in pursuit of novelty and amusement. One enjoyment was certain - that of suitableness as companions; a suitableness which comprehended health and temper to bear inconveniences - cheerfulness to enhance every pleasure - and affection and intelligence, which might supply it among themselves if there were disappointments abroad.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
