Chrysothemis: Time enough in the future to decide that.

Electra: Begone; there is no power to help in thee.

Chrysothemis: Not so; but in thee, no mind to learn.

Electra: Go, declare all this to thy mother!

Chrysothemis: But, again, I do not hate thee with such a hate.

Electra: Yet know at least to what dishonour thou bringest me.

Chrysothemis: Dishonour, no! I am only thinking of thy good.

Electra: Am I bound, then, to follow thy rule of right?

Chrysothemis: When thou art wise, then thou shalt be our guide.

Electra: Sad, that one who speaks so well should speak amiss!

Chrysothemis: Thou hast well described the fault to which thou cleavest.

Electra: How? Dost thou not think that I speak with justice?
