Solved cryptogram
Perhaps I did not always love him so well as I do now; but in such cases as these a good memory is unpardonable.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 59.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
Jane looked at her doubtingly. "Oh, Lizzy! it cannot be. I know how much you dislike him."
"You know nothing of the matter. That is all to be forgot. Perhaps I did not always love him so well as I do now; but in such cases as these a good memory is unpardonable. This is the last time I shall ever remember it myself."
Miss Bennet still looked all amazement. Elizabeth again, and more seriously, assured her of its truth.
