Solved cryptogram
Balls will be absolutely prohibited, unless you stand up with one of your sisters.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 48.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"I am not going to run away, papa," said Kitty, fretfully. "If I should ever go to Brighton, I would behave better than Lydia."
"You go to Brighton! I would not trust you so near it as Eastbourne, for fifty pounds! No, Kitty, I have at least learnt to be cautious, and you will feel the effects of it. No officer is ever to enter my house again, nor even to pass through the village. Balls will be absolutely prohibited, unless you stand up with one of your sisters. And you are never to stir out of doors, till you can prove that you have spent ten minutes of every day in a rational manner."
Kitty, who took all these threats in a serious light, began to cry.
