Orestes: Why, what misfortune could happen to a woman as yet childless,
unless her honour is concerned?

Hermione: My very ill! Thou hast hit my case exactly.

Orestes: On whom has thy husband set his affections in thy stead?

Hermione: On his captive, Hector's wife.

Orestes: An evil case indeed, for a man to have two wives!

Hermione: 'Tis even thus. So I resented it.

Orestes: Didst thou with woman's craft devise a plot against thy rival?

Hermione: Yes, to slay her and her bastard child.

Orestes: And didst thou slay them, or did something happen to rescue
them from thee?
