Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 34 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.
"From the very beginning, from the first moment, I may almost say, of my acquaintance with you, your manners impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form that groundwork of disapprobation, on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry."
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 34.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
