Have no tidings come of the possible arrival of Peleus?
Maid
He is too old to help thee if he came.
Andromache
And yet I sent for him more than once.
Maid
Surely thou dost not suppose that any of thy messengers heed thee?
Andromache
Why should they? Wilt thou then go for me?
Maid
How shall I explain my long absence from the house?
Andromache
Thou art a woman; thou canst invent a hundred ways.
Maid
There is a risk, for Hermione keeps no careless guard.
Andromache
Dost look to that? Thou art disowning thy friends in distress.
Maid
Not so; never taunt me with that. I will go, for
of a truth a
woman and a slave is not of much account, een if aught befall, me.
Andromache
Go then, while I will tell to heaven the lengthy tale of lamentation, mourning, and weeping, that has ever been my hard lot; for tis womans way to delight in present misfortunes
