Solved cryptogram
I am very glad you have somebody who thinks of those things. Where shall you change horses?
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 37.
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 uncle is to send a servant for us."
"Oh! Your uncle! He keeps a man-servant, does he? I am very glad you have somebody who thinks of those things. Where shall you change horses? Oh, Bromley, of course. If you mention my name at the Bell, you will be attended to."
Lady Catherine had many other questions to ask respecting their journey; and as she did not answer them all herself attention was necessary - which Elizabeth believed to be lucky for her; or, with a mind so occupied, she might have forgotten where she was. Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours: whenever she was alone, she gave way to it as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant recollections.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
