Solved cryptogram
I am ashamed of you! Is this your gratitude for my attentions to you last spring?
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 56.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"These are heavy misfortunes," replied Elizabeth. "But the wife of Mr. Darcy must have such extraordinary sources of happiness necessarily attached to her situation, that she could, upon the whole, have no cause to repine."
"Obstinate, headstrong girl! I am ashamed of you! Is this your gratitude for my attentions to you last spring? Is nothing due to me on that score? Let us sit down. You are to understand, Miss Bennet, that I came here with the determined resolution of carrying my purpose; nor will I be dissuaded from it. I have not been used to submit to any person's whims. I have not been in the habit of brooking disappointment."
"That will make your Ladyship's situation at present more pitiable; but it will have no effect on me."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
