Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 21 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"How can you talk so?" said Jane, faintly smiling; "you must know, that, though I should be exceedingly grieved at their disapprobation, I could not hesitate."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"But if he returns no more this winter, my choice will never be required. A thousand things may arise in six months."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
