Then an old man stooped and looked at Chrysea, and said,
"Surely it is the woman who came to us and sang long ago, when we were in our troubles; and, though he is sadly changed and worn, it is like her husband who played for her singing."
Then came the girl who had driven the cows and told them how she had met Arasmon, and all he had said to her.
"He searched everywhere for his wife, he said," said she. "I am glad he has found her. Where could she be?"
"Would that we had known it was he," said they all, "how we would have greeted him! but see, he looks quite content and as if he wished nothing more, since he has found his wife Chrysea."
