Solved cryptogram
Five daughters brought up at home without a governess! I never heard of such a thing.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice, chapter 29.
The passage it comes from
The quotation is marked in the paragraph it sits in, with the prose either side of it for company.
"We never had any governess."
"No governess! How was that possible? Five daughters brought up at home without a governess! I never heard of such a thing. Your mother must have been quite a slave to your education."
Elizabeth could hardly help smiling, as she assured her that had not been the case.
