Old Man: Thou wouldst never achieve it if thou didst enter the walls.

Orestes: Are they manned with guards and armed sentinels?

Old Man: Aye truly; for he is afraid of thee, and cannot sleep secure.

Orestes: Well then, do thou next propose a scheme, old friend.

Old Man: Hear me a moment; an idea has just occurred to me.

Orestes: May thy counsel prove good, and my perception keen!

Old Man: I saw Aegisthus, as I was slowly pacing hither-

Orestes: I welcome thy words. Where was he?

Old Man: Not far from these fields, at his stables.
