Whats going on here?

Okay so chapter five was pretty confusing to me. It might be because I read when I was tired, but once I re-read I still have some questions. Particularly on the first page of the chapter. Here is the passage:
"'Missis,' returned the gallant sergeant, 'speaking for myself , I should reply, the hounor and pleasure of his fine wife's acquaintance ; speaking for the king, I answer, a little job done."
It might just be me, but I'm so confused with the context and I just don't understand what they are trying to say there. Thanks for any help :)

Hey guys, not too much has changed on my body paragraph since yesterday. Still the same outline, but I just made it sound better and made sure my commentary worked with our thesis. For the most part it's the same basic ideas I showed you on Friday, but I just made it sound smoother and transition better.
I think that we might have used the same transitions within our body paragraphs, so we should go over that Monday. Is there anything you remember from yesterday that needed to be changed in my paragraph? I have new vocab and sentence structure, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
