Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 11 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.
"Here, then, I retreated and lay down happy to have found a shelter, however miserable, from the inclemency of the season, and still more from the barbarity of man. As soon as morning dawned I crept from my kennel, that I might view the adjacent cottage and discover if I could remain in the habitation I had found. It was situated against the back of the cottage and surrounded on the sides which were exposed by a pig sty and a clear pool of water. One part was open, and by that I had crept in; but now I covered every crevice by which I might be perceived with stones and wood, yet in such a manner that I might move them on occasion to pass out; all the light I enjoyed came through the sty, and that was sufficient for me.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the hard one from chapter 11.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
