¡¡¡¡'From whom?' ¡¡¡¡'Why, from your old nurse,' he returned, taking some papers out of his breast pocket. "'J. Steerforth, Esquire, debtor, to The Willing Mind"; that's not it.

It was written with a plain, unaffected, homely piety that I knew to be genuine, and ended with 'my duty to my ever darling' - meaning myself. ¡¡¡¡While I deciphered it, Steerforth continued to eat and drink.
