Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 17 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Very true, indeed; and now, my dear Jane, what have you got to say in behalf of the interested people who have probably been concerned in the business? Do clear them, too, or we shall be obliged to think ill of somebody."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"I can much more easily believe Mr. Bingley's being imposed on than that Mr. Wickham should invent such a history of himself as he gave me last night; names, facts, everything mentioned without ceremony. If it be not so, let Mr. Darcy contradict it. Besides, there was truth in his looks."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
