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.
"My dear Lizzy, where can you have been walking to?" was a question which Elizabeth received from Jane as soon as she entered the room, and from all the others when they sat down to table. She had only to say in reply, that they had wandered about till she was beyond her own knowledge. She coloured as she spoke; but neither that, nor anything else, awakened a suspicion of the truth.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
At night she opened her heart to Jane. Though suspicion was very far from Miss Bennet's general habits, she was absolutely incredulous here.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
