Leader: Stay, till thou learn thy fate for certain.

Electra: No, no; we are vanquished; where are our messengers?

Leader: They will come in time; to slay a king is no light task.
(A Messenger enters in haste.)

Messenger: All hail! ye victors, maidens of Mycenae, to all Orestes'
friends his triumph I announce; Aegisthus, the murderer of Agamemnon,
lies weltering where he fell; return thanks to heaven.

Electra: Who art thou? What proof dost thou give of this?

Messenger: Look at me, dost thou not recognize thy brother's servant?

Electra: O best of friends! 'twas fear that prevented me from recognizing
thee; now I know thee well. What sayst thou? Is my father's hateful
murderer slain?
