Solved cryptogram
You thought me then devoid of every proper feeling, I am sure you did.
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.
"I was certainly very far from expecting them to make so strong an impression. I had not the smallest idea of their being ever felt in such a way."
"I can easily believe it. You thought me then devoid of every proper feeling, I am sure you did. The turn of your countenance I shall never forget, as you said that I could not have addressed you in any possible way that would induce you to accept me."
"Oh, do not repeat what I then said. These recollections will not do at all. I assure you that I have long been most heartily ashamed of it."
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
