Orestes: Why did she not come forth with him?

Old Man: From fear of the citizens' reproach she stayed behind.

Orestes: I understand; she knows that the city suspects her.

Old Man: Just so; her wickedness makes her hated.

Orestes: How shall I slay her and him together?

Electra: Mine be the preparation of my mother's slaying!

Orestes: Well, as for the other, fortune will favour us.

Electra: Our old friend here must help us both.

Old Man: Aye, that will I; but wnat is thy scheme for slaying thy
mother?
