Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 22 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.

The sentence you are solving goes here.

As he was to begin his journey too early on the morrow to see any of the family, the ceremony of leave-taking was performed when the ladies moved for the night; and Mrs. Bennet, with great politeness and cordiality, said how happy they should be to see him at Longbourn again, whenever his other engagements might allow him to visit them.

Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
