Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 15 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
In pompous nothings on his side, and civil assents on that of his cousins, their time passed till they entered Meryton. The attention of the younger ones was then no longer to be gained by him. Their eyes were immediately wandering up the street in quest of the officers, and nothing less than a very smart bonnet, indeed, or a really new muslin in a shop window, could recall them.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
In another minute Mr. Bingley, but without seeming to have noticed what passed, took leave and rode on with his friend.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
