Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 20 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"You have destroyed the work which you began; what is it that you intend? Do you dare to break your promise? I have endured toil and misery; I left Switzerland with you; I crept along the shores of the Rhine, among its willow islands and over the summits of its hills. I have dwelt many months in the heaths of England and among the deserts of Scotland. I have endured incalculable fatigue, and cold, and hunger; do you dare destroy my hopes?"
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 20.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
