Orestes: Wherefore art thou living here far from the city?

Electra: I am wedded, sir; a fatal match!

Orestes: Alas! for thy brother; I pity him. Is thy husband of Mycenae?

Electra: He is not the man to whom my father ever thought of betrothing
me.

Orestes: Tell me all, that I may report it to thy brother.

Electra: I live apart from my husband in this house.

Orestes: The only fit inmate would be a hind or herd.

Electra: Poor he is, yet he displays a generous consideration for
me.
