Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 43 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Elizabeth listened, wondered, doubted, and was impatient for more. Mrs. Reynolds could interest her on no other point. She related the subjects of the pictures, the dimensions of the rooms, and the price of the furniture in vain. Mr. Gardiner, highly amused by the kind of family prejudice, to which he attributed her excessive commendation of her master, soon led again to the subject; and she dwelt with energy on his many merits, as they proceeded together up the great staircase.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"In what an amiable light does this place him!" thought Elizabeth.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
