Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 37 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"My uncle is to send a servant for us."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Lady Catherine had many other questions to ask respecting their journey; and as she did not answer them all herself attention was necessary - which Elizabeth believed to be lucky for her; or, with a mind so occupied, she might have forgotten where she was. Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours: whenever she was alone, she gave way to it as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant recollections.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
