25、Henry: My dear, the way you look today, it would be a crime not to ask for a good salary for the job theyll give to me.Portia: Oh, please remember that if we ask for too much we may get no salary at all; and then whatll happen to us, with no way in the world to earn a living?( At the brothers home,
26、the servant lets them in. the two brothers are seated,waiting.)Henry: Good morning,gentlemen .( Rodrick seems very surprised to see Portia) Portia, these are the men who helped me.Portia: So vary nice to meet you, kind sirs.
