Old Man: Not in my sound senses, because I see thy brother?

Electra: What mean'st thou, aged friend, by these astounding words?

Old Man: That I see Orestes, Agamemnon's son, before me.

Electra: What mark dost see that I can trust?

Old Man: A scar along his brow, where he fell and cut himself one
day in his father's home when chasing a fawn with thee.

Electra: Is it possible? True; I see the mark of the fall.

Old Man: Dost hesitate then to embrace thy own dear brother?

Electra: No! not any longer, old friend; for my soul is convinced
by the tokens thou showest. O my brother, thou art come at last, and
I embrace thee, little as I ever thought to.
