Your quarrel is with my daughter, Rosamund, and not with me. So put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker redirects a dispute, saying the argument is with someone else and shouldn't land on them. The closing 'put that in your pipe and smoke it' is an old-fashioned way of saying take that and chew on it, delivered with crisp, haughty finality.
