A little trouble brewing in the home of Portia and Bassanio. It seems that Bassanio and Gratiano (husband of Nerissa) gave up their wedding rings as payment to Balthazar for saving Antonio. Rumor has it that after a heated argument, Portia claimed that Balthazar and his servant were really Portia and Nerissa in disguise. I can not confirm this rumor although I wouldn't doubt it as Portia seems to be a smart lady.
I have also heard that Antonio's story had a very happy ending. Three of his ships have come in and his ducats returned.
