Solved cryptogram
The subject was pursued no further, and the gentlemen soon afterwards went away.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 30.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"My eldest sister has been in town these three months. Have you never happened to see her there?"
She was perfectly sensible that he never had: but she wished to see whether he would betray any consciousness of what had passed between the Bingleys and Jane; and she thought he looked a little confused as he answered that he had never been so fortunate as to meet Miss Bennet. The subject was pursued no further, and the gentlemen soon afterwards went away.
