Solved cryptogram
People do not die of little trifling colds. She will be taken good care of.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 7.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"Well, my dear," said Mr. Bennet, when Elizabeth had read the note aloud, "if your daughter should have a dangerous fit of illness - if she should die - it would be a comfort to know that it was all in pursuit of Mr. Bingley, and under your orders."
"Oh, I am not at all afraid of her dying. People do not die of little trifling colds. She will be taken good care of. As long as she stays there, it is all very well. I would go and see her if I could have the carriage."
Elizabeth, feeling really anxious, determined to go to her, though the carriage was not to be had: and as she was no horsewoman, walking was her only alternative. She declared her resolution.
