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.
My father yielded at length to my desire to avoid society and strove by various arguments to banish my despair. Sometimes he thought that I felt deeply the degradation of being obliged to answer a charge of murder, and he endeavoured to prove to me the futility of pride.
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.
