Solved cryptogram
The distance is nothing, when one has a motive; only three miles.
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.
"Is this a hint to me, Lizzy," said her father, "to send for the horses?"
"No, indeed. I do not wish to avoid the walk. The distance is nothing, when one has a motive; only three miles. I shall be back by dinner."
"I admire the activity of your benevolence," observed Mary, "but every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
