"Well, your Majesty," began Kidd, hesitatingly, "you see it was this way: Sir Walter er did say that, but ah he ah but he added that he of course merely judged er this man Bassanio's feelings by his own in parting from his sister " "Did he say sister?" cried Elizabeth.
And then Gratiano, who loved to copy what his lord did, thought he must make a speech like Bassanio's, and he said, in Nerissa's hearing, who was writing in her clerk's dress by the side of Portia, "I have a wife, whom I protest I love; I wish she were in heaven, if she could but entreat some power there to change the cruel temper of this currish Jew."
If it be as Bassanio's, brave to 'give and hazard all he hath, let him not fear to pass the seeming gold, the seeming silver, to choose the seeming lead. 'Why, that's the lady, thou poor magnificent Morocco. Nor shall the gold fail, for her heart is that, and for silver thou shalt have those 'silent silver lights undreamed of' of face and soul.
When Portia parted with her husband, she spoke cheeringly to him, and bade him bring his dear friend along with him when he returned; yet she feared it would go hard with Antonio, and when she was left alone, she began to think and consider within herself, if she could by any means be instrumental in saving the life of her dear Bassanio's friend; and notwithstanding when she wished to honour her Bassanio, she had said to him with such a meek and wifelike grace, that she would submit in all things to be governed by his superior wisdom, yet being now called forth into action by the peril of her honoured husband's friend, she did nothing doubt her own powers, and by the sole guidance of her own true and perfect judgment, at once resolved to go herself to Venice, and speak in Antonio's defence.
When Portia, radiant with the joy of relieving Bassanio's anguish, speaks of Antonio's heavy ransom as the "petty debt," we feel sure that if it had been half her fortune it would have seemed to her an insignificant price to pay for her husband's peace of mind.
She had thick, fair hair, and he remembered Bassanio's description of Portia: And her sunny locks Hang on her temples like a golden fleece. He had a curious desire to talk to the girl about the play he had just seen, and before he gave his order, he glanced about the room. She and he were the only persons in it. "You don't seem to be very busy," he said. "Och, indeed, we're not," she replied.
