Leader: Lo! here is thy husband hurrying homeward, his labour done.

Peasant: (entering and catching sight of strangers talking to Electra)
Ha! who are these strangers I see at my door? And why are they come
hither to my rustic gate? can they want my help? for 'tis unseemly
for a woman to stand talking with young men.

Electra: Dear husband, be not suspicious of me. For thou shalt hear
the truth; these strangers have come to bring me news of Orestes.
Good sirs, pardon him those words.

Peasant: What say they? is that hero yet alive and in the light of
day?

Electra: He is; at least they say so, and I believe them.

Peasant: Surely then he hath some memory of his father and thy wrongs?

Electra: These are things to hope for; a man in exile is helpless.
