Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 46 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"I am afraid you have been long desiring my absence, nor have I anything to plead in excuse of my stay, but real, though unavailing concern. Would to Heaven that anything could be either said or done on my part, that might offer consolation to such distress! But I will not torment you with vain wishes, which may seem purposely to ask for your thanks. This unfortunate affair will, I fear, prevent my sister's having the pleasure of seeing you at Pemberley to-day."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
He readily assured her of his secrecy, again expressed his sorrow for her distress, wished it a happier conclusion than there was at present reason to hope, and, leaving his compliments for her relations, with only one serious parting look, went away.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
