Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 6 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Miss Elizabeth Bennet!" repeated Miss Bingley. "I am all astonishment. How long has she been such a favourite? and pray when am I to wish you joy?"
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Nay, if you are so serious about it, I shall consider the matter as absolutely settled. You will have a charming mother-in-law, indeed, and of course she will be always at Pemberley with you."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
