ELECTRA.

                            A lover weighs
More than a child in any woman's heart.

ORESTES.

ELECTRA.

And weak, even as my husband.

ORESTES.

ORESTES.

                             And of this
Thy virgin life—Aegisthus knows it?

ELECTRA.

                                     Nay,
We speak it not. It cometh not his way.

ORESTES.

These women hear us. Are they friends to thee?

ELECTRA.

Aye, friends and true. They will keep faithfully
All words of mine and thine.
