Where it comes from

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 21 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.

My change of manner surprised and pleased the magistrate; perhaps he thought that my former exclamation was a momentary return of delirium, and now he instantly resumed his former benevolence. He rose and quitted the room with my nurse, and in a moment my father entered it.

The sentence you are solving goes here.

"Are you then safe - and Elizabeth - and Ernest?"

Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
