I cannot make sense of the following sentence:
I have never dined with you, sir; and I see no reason why I should know.

Please help me out!

Thanks.

[CP]

The problem lies in the last word: It should be "now," not "know."

It means: I never ate with you before, and I don't see any reason to eat with you now.
