"There's an easier way," Sophie said, taking the pen from Teabing.
"It works for all reflectional substitution ciphers, including the Atbash. A little trick I learned at the Royal Holloway."

"Cryptanalysts call it the fold-over. Half as complicated. Twice as clean."
Teabing eyed her handiwork and chuckled.: "Right you are. Glad to see those boys at the Holloway are doing their job."
