Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 17 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
The latter part of his tale had kindled anew in me the anger that had died away while he narrated his peaceful life among the cottagers, and as he said this I could no longer suppress the rage that burned within me.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 17.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
