How was the Scottish Lord introduced in the Merchant of Venice? (Act 1 Scene 2)
Why did Portia say this about the Scottish Lord?

I think he’s very forgiving since he let the Englishman slap him on the ear without hitting him back. Rather than defend himself, he just threatened to pay the Englishman back later. Then the Frenchman promised to help the Scot pay the Englishman back, and added a slap of his own.
