Solved cryptogram
I have known him too long and too well to be a fair judge. It is impossible for me to be impartial.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 16.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"As much as I ever wish to be," cried Elizabeth, warmly. "I have spent four days in the same house with him, and I think him very disagreeable."
"I have no right to give my opinion," said Wickham, "as to his being agreeable or otherwise. I am not qualified to form one. I have known him too long and too well to be a fair judge. It is impossible for me to be impartial. But I believe your opinion of him would in general astonish - and, perhaps, you would not express it quite so strongly anywhere else. Here you are in your own family."
"Upon my word I say no more here than I might say in any house in the neighbourhood, except Netherfield. He is not at all liked in Hertfordshire. Everybody is disgusted with his pride. You will not find him more favourably spoken of by anyone."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
