As it chanced, Thyra heard sure tidings that this son had perished. But when no man durst openly hint this to Germ, she fell back on her cunning to defend her, and revealed by her deeds the mischance which she durst not speak plainly out.
She went into the house and called Damaris. As the girl came down the stairs Thyra held out her hands with a wonderful light of joy and renunciation on her face. "Damaris," she said, "Chester has come back to us the sea has given him back to us. He is over at Carl White's house. Go to him, my daughter, and bring him to me!"
"Methinks I have indeed seen you before, but in what circumstances and at what time I do not call to mind." "We met long years ago," said she. "First in Wendland, when you were a guest at the court of King Burislaf; and again when we sat side by side at the inheritance feast of King Sweyn of Denmark. My name is Thyra.
When the men had finished lashing the ships together he again took his war horn and blew a loud blast upon it that echoed and re-echoed along the rocky shores of the island. As he turned to put the horn aside he saw that Queen Thyra, alarmed by the growing tumult, had come up on deck.
Why thinkest thou so? said I. And Edith answered, 'I feel it by the touch of the earth, by the breath of the air. This is more than love, Harold. I knew two twins who had the same instinct of each other's comings and goings, and were present each to each even when absent: Edith is twin to my soul.

And when thou didst come so noiselessly to my side, with thy sad, cold eyes, O Haco, methought I saw the Messenger of Death. But thou art strong, Haco, and life will be long for thee; let us talk of life." Haco stooped down and pressed his lips upon the girl's pale forehead. "Kiss me too, Thyra." The child kissed him, and they sate silent and close by each other, while the sun set.
