At the end of Act I Scene I of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Helena decides to tell Demetrius of Hermia and Lysander's plan. Which of Helena's lines may foreshadow a "happy ever after" conclusion for her and Demetrius?

a. "Through Athens I am thought as fair as she.

But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so."

b. "And as he errs, doting on Hermia's eyes,

So I, admiring of his qualities:"

c. "For ere Demetrius look'd on Hermia's eyne,

He hailed down oaths that he was only mine"

d. "And when this hail some heat from Hermia felt,

So he dissolved, and showers of oaths did melt."
