Series: Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice

Greciano, Lorenzo, Salarino, Salegno are the same as above.

Lorenzo: No, we just sneak out at dinner, dress up in my apartment and get things done in a minute.

Gratiano, we're not ready.

Salarino, we haven't mentioned the man with the torch.

Mr. Legano must undergo some training, otherwise people will see jokes; In my opinion, it's best not to.

Lorenzo, it's only four o'clock; We still have two hours to prepare.

Lancelot is holding a letter.

Friend Lorenzo Lancelot, what news have you brought?

Lancelot, please open this letter as if it would tell you.

Lorenzo, I know this handwriting; These words are really beautiful; The hand that wrote this letter is whiter than this writing paper.

Gratiano must be a love letter.

Uncle Lancelot, I'm leaving.

Lorenzo, where are you going?

Uh, grandpa, I'm going to invite my old master, the Jew, and my new master, the Christian, to dinner tonight.

Wait, Lorenzo, this is money for you. You reply to the gentle Jessica, I won't miss her appointment; Be careful not to let others hear you. Everybody, please continue. Would you like to prepare for the masked ball tonight? I already have a man with a torch.

Salarino: Yes, I'll be ready right away.

I'm going to Legano.

Lorenzo, let's meet at Gratiano's apartment at about one o'clock.

Salarino is fine. (Salarino, Mr. Legano. )

Didn't Jessica write you that letter from Greciano?

Lorenzo, I have to tell you everything. She taught me how to take her out of her father's house and told me how much gold, silver and jewels she had brought and how to dress up as a child. If her father, the Jew, will go to heaven one day, it must be because God is very kind to his kind daughter. Bad luck never dares to invade her again, except because her father is a perfidious Jew. Come, go with me; You can read this letter while walking. Beautiful Jessica will hold the torch for me. (The same below. )
