Solved cryptogram
How is such a man to be worked on? How are they even to be discovered?
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 46.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"And what has been done, what has been attempted, to recover her?"
"My father has gone to London, and Jane has written to beg my uncle's immediate assistance, and we shall be off, I hope, in half an hour. But nothing can be done; I know very well that nothing can be done. How is such a man to be worked on? How are they even to be discovered? I have not the smallest hope. It is every way horrible!"
Darcy shook his head in silent acquiescence.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
