"'Call it randers, or what ye will, answered she; 'but I see it plain as I see the grey hairs upon your head, that death and lamentation are gathering round my father's hearth, and are hovering and screaming owre it, like vultures round a desolate place.
"They told you truth," I said. "Then, in the name of Antichrist that I should say so! how scaped you drowning, and how came you here?" I told him the story, as briefly as might be. "Ill luck go with yon second-sighted wench that has bewitched Elliot, and you too, for all that I can see.
The story is now hastening to its close, and many events are crowded into the fortieth day. Telemachus goes from the swineherd's hut to the city, and calls his guest, Theoclymenus, to the palace. The second-sighted man prophesies of the near revenge of Odysseus. Odysseus goes begging through his own hall, and is struck by Antinous, the proudest of the wooers.
The stranger's name was Theoclymenus, and he was a sooth-sayer and a second-sighted man. And Telemachus, returning to Ithaka, was in peril of his life.

Somewhat late in life he took to wife Saevuna, Thorod's daughter. She was the best of women, strong in mind and second-sighted, and she could cover herself in her hair. But these two never loved each other overmuch, and they had but one child, Eric, who was born when Saevuna was well on in years. The father of Gudruda was Asmund Asmundson, the Priest of Middalhof.
Not one of all the company before me will be able to avoid it. So saying, the second-sighted man went out of the hall. The wooers looking at each other laughed again, and one of them said: 'Telemachus has no luck in his guests.
A correspondent of Aubrey's vouches for a second-sighted man who babbled too much 'about the phairie, and 'was suddenly removed to the farther end of the house, and was there almost strangled'.
