Clytemnestra: 'Tis his way; thou too hast a stubborn nature.

Electra: Because I am grieved; yet will I check my spirit.

Clytemnestra: I promise then he shall no longer oppress thee.

Electra: From living in my home he grows too proud.

Clytemnestra: Now there! 'tis thou that art fanning the quarrel into
new life.

Electra: I say no more; my dread of him is even what it is.

Clytemnestra: Peace! Enough of this. Why didst thou summon me, my
child?

Electra: Thou hast heard, I suppose, of my confinement; for this I
pray thee, since I know not how, offer the customary sacrifice on
the tenth day after birth, for I am a novice herein, never having
had a child before.
