Solved cryptogram
There was one part, especially the opening of it, which I should dread your having the power of reading again.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 58.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
She explained what its effects on her had been, and how gradually all her former prejudices had been removed.
"I knew," said he, "that what I wrote must give you pain, but it was necessary. I hope you have destroyed the letter. There was one part, especially the opening of it, which I should dread your having the power of reading again. I can remember some expressions which might justly make you hate me."
"The letter shall certainly be burnt, if you believe it essential to the preservation of my regard; but, though we have both reason to think my opinions not entirely unalterable, they are not, I hope, quite so easily changed as that implies."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
