Where it comes from

Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 10 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.

"Will it not be advisable, before we proceed on this subject, to arrange with rather more precision the degree of importance which is to appertain to this request, as well as the degree of intimacy subsisting between the parties?"

One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the hard one from chapter 10.

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