Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 7 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Is this a hint to me, Lizzy," said her father, "to send for the horses?"
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"I admire the activity of your benevolence," observed Mary, "but every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
