You leave me no alternative.
Jack Straw.
My dear Holland, I really believe you’re rather nervous about the disclosure which it is evidently your duty to make.
Holland.
For your own sake I ask you once more: will you give me your word of honour to leave the house and under no circumstances communicate with any member of the family?
Jack Straw.
It’s charming of you to give me one more chance. I can only repeat that I am deeply in love with Ethel, and I have every intention of marrying her.
Holland.
Your blood be upon your own head.
Jack Straw.
