Answer
The piece of text is from the original Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens and should read:"I am instructed to communicate to him," said Mr. Jaggers, throwing his finger at me sideways, "that he will come into a handsome property. Further, that it is the desire of the present possessor of that property, that he be immediately removed from his present sphere of life and from this place, and be brought up as a gentleman - in a word, as a young fellow of great expectations."

It was easier for you people that know the book, but the work payed off in the end. Good job
This was too easy. I could read most of the words after only making a few replacements, guessing at the first two words correctly. (Being the beginning of the book, I thought it was a narrator describing himself.)
