Solved cryptogram
You know my mother's ideas as to the necessity of constant company for her friends.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 26.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"Perhaps it will be as well if you discourage his coming here so very often. At least you should not remind your mother of inviting him."
"As I did the other day," said Elizabeth, with a conscious smile; "very true, it will be wise in me to refrain from that. But do not imagine that he is always here so often. It is on your account that he has been so frequently invited this week. You know my mother's ideas as to the necessity of constant company for her friends. But really, and upon my honour, I will try to do what I think to be wisest; and now I hope you are satisfied."
Her aunt assured her that she was; and Elizabeth, having thanked her for the kindness of her hints, they parted, - a wonderful instance of advice being given on such a point without being resented.
