Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 25 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"I never saw a more promising inclination; he was growing quite inattentive to other people, and wholly engrossed by her. Every time they met, it was more decided and remarkable. At his own ball he offended two or three young ladies by not asking them to dance; and I spoke to him twice myself without receiving an answer. Could there be finer symptoms? Is not general incivility the very essence of love?"
The sentence you are solving goes here.
Elizabeth was exceedingly pleased with this proposal, and felt persuaded of her sister's ready acquiescence.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
