Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 8 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Several witnesses were called who had known her for many years, and they spoke well of her; but fear and hatred of the crime of which they supposed her guilty rendered them timorous and unwilling to come forward. Elizabeth saw even this last resource, her excellent dispositions and irreproachable conduct, about to fail the accused, when, although violently agitated, she desired permission to address the court.
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 8.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
