Excerpt from book: father was dishonoured. Across her fair face, which had hitherto only heen bright with a girl's romantic fancies and impetuosity, there came clouds of impatience and anger, which vanish only when she takes her baby brother on her knees, and shows to him a mother's tenderness. LECTURE IV. So Electra sickened with anger, and Clytemnestra and JEgisthus lived in happy shame. But all the while was present to all the expectation of the day when Agamemnon would return. At last it came, after years of waiting: and the inmates of the palace prepared to receive him. As soon as he set foot within the doors, he was killed, and there was none who made a mourning for him, except the daughter who had waited for him so long. And now he was dead, murdered cruelly and treacherously by those who had done him so much dishonour. He had gone from the earth, but yet he knew what was done upon it, living still below in Hades. Shame could reach him still, and glory, and love. And he still felt the desire for vengeance, though he could scarcely help the avengers. What then will Electra do now? Will she forget him? Will she make a compromise with those who have so shamefully broken the laws of Zeus? Never! She will be faithful unto death, holding always to her father's side, doing him no dishonour, even by being meek and gentle with his enemies. Everything that she has valued becomes nothing to her, in the presence of the duty which she owes to gods and men: for days, mouths, years, they shall be always nothing, until the gods shall send the avenger, and the desire of her poor heart shall be satisfied. All the time of waiting she was alone in her sorrow; for the resentment of Chrysothemis presently passed, and she lived at peace with her mother and.
