I don't want any of Biggs's nieces.

I won't have them.

By Jove! And am I to be entrapped into a plan like that?
I want Ethel.
And what's more, I will have her, or go without.

The child-angel may be the very identical one that my mother selected, and if you assert that she is, I'll be hanged if I'll argue the point.

I only say this, that it doesn't alter my position in the slightest degree.
