For if, in writing against Antidorus or Bion the sophister, he had made mention of laws, policy, order, and justice, might not either of them have said to him, as Electra did to her mad brother Orestes: and there cherish thy bit of body, leaving those to expostulate and find fault with me who have themselves lived the life of a citizen and householder?
She made no comment, and her eyes drooped again to the perusal of the strange shapes which danced and flickered on the burnished andirons. "What use do you suppose he had for it?" "I cannot imagine, unless he intends it as a home for Electra." "What a witch you are at guessing; that is exactly it.
She sprang down the steps to wait on the sidewalk for her cousin, and met him at the entrance. "Oh, Russell! I have found your watch." A ray of light seemed to leap from his eyes as he seized her hand. "Where?" "At Mr. Brown's jewellery store." "Thank God!" He went up the stairway, delivered the letters, and came back accompanied by Mr. Campbell. "This is my cousin, Electra Grey, Mr. Campbell."
Electra counsels her not to execute the commands of her wicked mother, but to put up a prayer for herself and her sister, and for the return of Orestes as the avenger of his father; she then adds to the oblation her own girdle and a lock of her hair. Chrysothemis goes off, promising obedience to her wishes.
Of her father she did not speak, but gave her uncle a written statement of all the facts which she had been able to gather concerning the circumstances of his death; and thus a tacit compact was formed; to make no reference to the painful subject. As she accompanied Electra to the room prepared for her, on the night of her arrival, the latter asked, with ill-concealed emotion
Dardanus, who sailed to the Teucrian land, the first father and founder of the Ilian city, was born, as Greeks relate, of Electra the Atlantid; Electra's sire is ancient Atlas, whose shoulder sustains the heavenly spheres.
Above all, in place of the cry of bewilderment that closes the Choephori 'What is the end of all this spilling of blood for blood? the Electra closes with an expression of entire satisfaction... Aeschylus takes the old bloody saga in an earnest and troubled spirit, very different from Homer's, but quite as grand.
Electra packed the little trunk, saw it deposited on the top of the stage in the dawn of an October morning, saw her aunt comfortably seated beside Mr. Hill, and in another moment all had vanished. In the afternoon of that day, on returning from school, Electra went to the bureau, and, unlocking a drawer, took out a small paper box.
They live therefore in virgin wedlock. Electra comes forth before it is yet daybreak bearing upon her head, which is close shorn in servile fashion, a pitcher to fetch water: her husband entreats her not to trouble herself with such unaccustomed labours, but she will not be withheld from the discharge of her household duties; and the two depart, he to his work in the field and she upon her errand.
Electra knew that his stay had been prolonged beyond his original intention, and she dreaded the hour when she should be deprived of his aid and advice. Though their acquaintance had been so short, a strangely strong feeling had grown up in her heart toward him; a feeling of clinging tenderness, blended with earnest and undying gratitude.
