Orestes: Do they rejoice, then, at these tidings? Or what say they?

Paedagogus: I will tell thee at the end; meanwhile, all is well for
us on their party-even that which is not well.

Electra: Who is this, brother? I pray thee, tell me.

Orestes: Dost thou not perceive?

Electra: I cannot guess.

Orestes: Knowest thou not the man to whose hands thou gavest me once?

Electra: What man? How sayest thou?

Orestes: By whose hands, through thy forethought, I was secretly conveyed
forth to Phocian soil.

Electra: Is this he in whom, alone of many, I found a true ally of
old, when our sire was slain?

Orestes: 'Tis he; question me no further.
