I did a little searching around and it seems to be a common expression of the period (late 19th-early 20th century), but I can't find any hint of an origin. I know what it's supposed to mean ("Wouldn't miss it for anything!"), but I have no idea what the etymology is. Hmm, this is going to drive me nuts now!
