Orestes: I am come to thee with news of thy brother.

Electra: O best of friends! is he alive or dead?

Orestes: Alive; I would fain give thee my good news first.

Electra: God bless thee! in return for thy welcome tidings.

Orestes: I am prepared to share that blessing between us.

Electra: In what land is my poor brother spending his dreary exile?

Orestes: His ruined life does not conform to the customs of any one
city.

Electra: Surely he does not want for daily bread?

Orestes: Bread he has, but an exile is a helpless man at best.
