You are going to see your nurse, I suppose?' ¡¡¡¡'Why, yes,' I said, 'I must see Peggotty first of all.' ¡¡¡¡'Well,' replied Steerforth, looking at his watch. 'Suppose I deliver you up to be cried over for a couple of hours. Is that long enough?' ¡¡¡¡I answered, laughing, that I thought we might get through it in that time, but that he must come also; for he would find that his renown had preceded him, and that he was almost as great a personage as I was.
