Chapter 19 The second scene is the same as before. Street

Enter PORTIA and NERISSA. Portia inquired where the Jew lived, and handed him the deed, for his signature.We will be home a day before our husbands, so we must start this evening.Lorenzo must be very happy to get this deed. Enter Graciano. Good Mr. Graciano, I managed to catch up with you.My uncle Bassanio, after much deliberation, decided to ask me to bring this ring to you, and ask you to honor him and have a meal with him. Portia can't do it; I've got his ring, thank him for me.I also want you to show my little brother the way to old man Sherlock's house. Graciano can. Brother Nerissa, I want to say something to you. (Aside to PORTIA) I'll see if I can get my husband's ring off.I once made him swear to never leave my hand.

PORTIA Surely you can.When we get home, we'll hear them swear that they give rings to men; but we'll beat 'em and swear harder than they do.You go, you know where I will wait for you. Nerissa, brother, please show me the way. (Exit each.)
