The biggest difference between Portia and the Englishman, Falconbridge, is that they do not understand each other. Neither speaks the same language.
You know I say nothing to him, for he understands not me, nor I him.
He hath neither Latin, French, nor Italian, and you will come into the court and swear that I have a poor pennyworth in the English.
He is a proper man’s picture, but alas, who can converse with a dumb show?
