Example of citation:

Doe, Jane. “The House.” World Literature. Ed. John Doe. New York: Penguin, 1986. 25-30. Print.

What I have in the text is the quote from the chapter in the textbook, the quote is "blah blah blah" (Doe)

Because The House is an original print source and I found it online, how would I in-text cite the page for when this quote appeared in the original print source, because (Doe) doesn't include the page number. Would I in-text cite it as (Doe 25-30) even though this quote doesn't stretch through all those pages, or would I cite only (Doe) in the text? (as I don't know the exact page that this quote appeared).
