Your brother told me that my antecedents and occupations were against me; that your family stands, somehow, on a higher level than I do.

That is an idea which of course I don't understand and don't accept.

But you don't care anything about that.

I can assure you that I am a very solid fellow, and that if I give my mind to it I can arrange things so that in a very few years I shall not need to waste time in explaining who I am and what I am.

You will decide for yourself whether you like me or not.
