Leader: No man ever prospered by unjust practices, but in a righteous
cause there is hope of safety.

Helen: Menelaus, on the maiden's side are we quite safe. Thou must
from that point start, and by contributing thy advice, devise with
me a scheme to save ourselves.

Menelaus: Hearken then; thou hast been a long while in the palace,
and art intimate with the king's attendants.

Helen: What dost thou mean thereby? for thou art suggesting hopes,
as if resolved on some plan for our mutual help.

Menelaus: Couldst thou persuade one of those who have charge of cars
and steeds to furnish us with a chariot?

Helen: I might; but what escape is there for us who know nothing of
the country and the barbarian's kingdom?
