Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 56 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"These are heavy misfortunes," replied Elizabeth. "But the wife of Mr. Darcy must have such extraordinary sources of happiness necessarily attached to her situation, that she could, upon the whole, have no cause to repine."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"That will make your Ladyship's situation at present more pitiable; but it will have no effect on me."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
