Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 25 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"I do not blame Jane," she continued, "for Jane would have got Mr. Bingley if she could. But, Lizzy! Oh, sister! it is very hard to think that she might have been Mr. Collins's wife by this time, had not it been for her own perverseness. He made her an offer in this very room, and she refused him. The consequence of it is, that Lady Lucas will have a daughter married before I have, and that Longbourn estate is just as much entailed as ever. The Lucases are very artful people, indeed, sister. They are all for what they can get. I am sorry to say it of them, but so it is. It makes me very nervous and poorly, to be thwarted so in my own family, and to have neighbours who think of themselves before anybody else. However, your coming just at this time is the greatest of comforts, and I am very glad to hear what you tell us of long sleeves."
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 25.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
