She thinks Rodney would have 'wanted' me more, if I hadn't thrown myself at him like that." Portia extinguished her cigarette in a little ash-tray, and began unpacking her pillows before she spoke. "I don't know," she said at last. "It's been said for a long time that the only way to make a man want anything very wildly, is to make him think it's desperately hard to get.
Portia asked if the scales were ready to weigh the flesh; and she said to the Jew: 'Shylock, you must have some surgeon by, lest he bleed to death. Shylock, whose whole intent was that Antonio should bleed to death, said: 'It is not so named in the bond. Portia replied: 'It is not so named in the bond, but what of that?
What is meant by it? Is Bassanio's daring in venturing so much for his chance with Portia itself a sign of his fitness, or the reverse? How is his casket significant of this test-stone i.e., adventurousness? Is the match of Nerissa and Gratiano an irrelevance to Portia's and Bassanio's courtship or an enhancement of their happiness?
You must prepare your bosom for his knife. SHYLOCK. O noble judge! O excellent young man! PORTIA. For the intent and purpose of the law Hath full relation to the penalty, Which here appeareth due upon the bond. SHYLOCK. 'Tis very true: O wise and upright judge! How much more elder art thou than thy looks! PORTIA. Therefore, lay bare your bosom.
As Portia she appeared to great advantage; but when Lorenzo says, 'This is the voice, or I am much deceived, of Portia, and Portia replies, 'He knows me, as the blind man knows the cuckoo, by the bad voice, the audience laughed outright, and Woffington, conscious of her deficiency, with great good-humour joined with them in their merriment."

An event which we had hoped to have been graced by the presence of Zenobia, Julia, and Longinus, took place almost in solitude and silence. But of this I have written fully to Portia. That which we have apprehended has happened.
Bassanio was so overpowered with gratitude and wonder at the gracious manner in which the rich and noble Portia accepted of a man of his humble fortunes, that he could not express his joy and reverence to the dear lady who so honored him, by anything but broken words of love and thankfulness; and taking the ring, he vowed never to part with it.
Yet if he wait two months until Antonio's ships return it may be too late, and Portia may be married to another. So to supply his friend's need Antonio decides to borrow the money, and soon a Jew named Shylock is found who is willing to lend it. For Shylock was a money-lender. He lent money to people who had need of it and charged them interest.
'Wears upon her forehead clear The freedom of a mountaineer. I always mildly think Wordsworth must have been acquainted with Miss Gaunt." "Go on," says Stephen to the Boodie, who is still lost in thought. "You have not yet told me what it is you disbelieve." "It was something Portia said," returns the Boodie, composedly. "That I said! surely you are mistaken, darling," says Portia.
"She said 'I am a-weary, a-weary; I would I were a-bed," quotes Mr. Browne, feelingly. Whereupon everyone feels it his duty to take Portia at once back to the house, less Mr. Browne, by any ill-luck, should commit himself still further. It is only when Portia is at last alone in her own room that she recollects that Fabian forgot to shake hands with her. Or was it she with Fabian?
