Arthur Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury, was preparing to do the honors; seven godparents, starting with his Queen, were waiting; water from the River Jordan was sent for the occasion; and the christening robe made for Queen Victoria's children was dug out of the attic for him to wear. But none of that made the slightest impression on the son of Princess Alexandra and Angus Ogilvy. Just like any other healthy ten-week-old, he let out a sharp little yip as he was baptized...

As the watchman finishes his opening soliloquy and leaves the stage, Clytemnestra and Aegisthus burst through the curtain and look with surprise, with fear, finally with scorn on the beacon that tells them Agamemnon will be returning from Troy. While the king is being welcomed home by his queen, the herald who had earlier trumpeted his own joy at returning to Argos watches his wife turn away from him, a symbol of what will happen to Agamemnon...
