Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 16 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"'Do you consider,' said his companion to him, 'that you will be obliged to pay three months' rent and to lose the produce of your garden? I do not wish to take any unfair advantage, and I beg therefore that you will take some days to consider of your determination.'
The sentence you are solving goes here.
"Felix trembled violently as he said this. He and his companion entered the cottage, in which they remained for a few minutes, and then departed. I never saw any of the family of De Lacey more.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
