Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 22 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
In about a week after the arrival of Elizabeth's letter we returned to Geneva. The sweet girl welcomed me with warm affection, yet tears were in her eyes as she beheld my emaciated frame and feverish cheeks. I saw a change in her also. She was thinner and had lost much of that heavenly vivacity that had before charmed me; but her gentleness and soft looks of compassion made her a more fit companion for one blasted and miserable as I was.
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 medium one from chapter 22.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
