What did Nerissa say about Portia's Father ?
Answer :-
This scene has taken place in the room of Portia at Belmont. Portia is worried about the casket system. Nerissa tries to comfort her. She says :- Your father was ever virtuous, and holy men at their death have good inspirations. Therefore the lottery that he hath devised in these three chests of gold, silver, and lead, where of who chooses his meaning chooses you, will no doubt never be chosen by any rightly but one who shall rightly love. Nerissa wants to say that Portia's father is a virtuous man. He is a very wise man. The lottery is devised in three chests : gold, silver and lead. The right one chest will be choosen by someone who truly loves Portia.
