Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 50 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
She began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It was an union that must have been to the advantage of both: by her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved; and from his judgment, information, and knowledge of the world, she must have received benefit of greater importance.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
How Wickham and Lydia were to be supported in tolerable independence she could not imagine. But how little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue, she could easily conjecture.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
