Voice of Molossus.
Ho! Mother, Mother!
Maid.
[Looking.] It is Molossus! And the King's huntsmen. They are coming up the path.
Alcimedon.

Hermione.
[To Andromache, who has stopped.] Why do you wait? Have I not bidden you back to the castle? And when the hall is swept, go to your own house. Come not up to trouble the King till that web is finished.
Andromache.
[Turning again and moving away.] I go, O Queen.
