Solved cryptogram
My sole dependence was on you; and I am sure nobody else will believe me, if you do not. Yet, indeed, I am in earnest.
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.
"You are joking, Lizzy. This cannot be! Engaged to Mr. Darcy! No, no, you shall not deceive me: I know it to be impossible."
"This is a wretched beginning, indeed! My sole dependence was on you; and I am sure nobody else will believe me, if you do not. Yet, indeed, I am in earnest. I speak nothing but the truth. He still loves me, and we are engaged."
Jane looked at her doubtingly. "Oh, Lizzy! it cannot be. I know how much you dislike him."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
