Where it comes from
Jane Austen wrote it in chapter 9 of Pride and Prejudice. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Certainly, my dear, nobody said there were; but as to not meeting with many people in this neighbourhood, I believe there are few neighbourhoods larger. I know we dine with four-and-twenty families."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Yes, she called yesterday with her father. What an agreeable man Sir William is, Mr. Bingley - is not he? so much the man of fashion! so genteel and so easy! He has always something to say to everybody. That is my idea of good breeding; and those persons who fancy themselves very important and never open their mouths quite mistake the matter."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
