Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 50 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Mr. Gardiner soon wrote again to his brother. To Mr. Bennet's acknowledgments he briefly replied, with assurances of his eagerness to promote the welfare of any of his family; and concluded with entreaties that the subject might never be mentioned to him again. The principal purport of his letter was to inform them, that Mr. Wickham had resolved on quitting the militia.
