Electra: Go, old man, and tell Clytemnestra from me that I have given
birth to a son.

Old Man: Some time ago, or quite recently?

Electra: Ten days ago, which are the days of my purification.

Old Man: Suppose it done; but how doth this help towards slaying thy
mother?

Electra: She will come, when she hears of my confinement.

Old Man: What! dost think she cares aught for thee, my child?

Electra: Oh yes! she will weep no doubt over my child's low rank.

Old Man: Perhaps she may; but go back again to the point.
