Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 59 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Have you any other objection," said Elizabeth, "than your belief of my indifference?"
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"I do, I do like him," she replied, with tears in her eyes; "I love him. Indeed he has no improper pride. He is perfectly amiable. You do not know what he really is; then pray do not pain me by speaking of him in such terms."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
