Ned was lost. Catelyn is truly here? This is not some strange jape of Littlefinger's? He sheathed his blade. 奈德糊涂了。凯特琳真的在这里？不是小指头的恶作剧？他收起武器。

　　Would that it were, Stark, Littlefinger said. Follow me, and try to look a shade more lecherous and a shade less like the King's Hand.  我有那本事倒好，史塔克。小指头道，随我来罢。还有，脸上表情露骨一点，不要一副正襟危坐的首相模样。

　　It would not do to have you recognized. Perhaps you could fondle a breast or two, just in passing. 你要是被认出来，那可就糟了。不介意的话，经过时摸两把奶子。

　　They went inside, through a crowded common room where a fat woman was singing bawdy songs while pretty young girls in linen shifts  他们走进屋内，穿过拥挤的大厅，有个胖女人正唱着歌词淫秽的曲子，

　　and wisps of colored silk pressed themselves against their lovers and dandled on their laps. No one paid Ned the least bit of attention.  身穿轻薄罗衫的美少女坐在恩客腿上撒娇。没人理会奈德。

　　Ser Rodrik waited below while Littlefinger led him up to the third floor, along a corridor, and through a door. 罗德利克爵士等在楼下，由小指头领他走上三楼，穿过回廊，进了门。

　　Inside, Catelyn was waiting. She cried out when she saw him, ran to him, and embraced him fiercely. 凯特琳正在里面，她一见他便叫出声来，朝他飞奔过去，紧紧地抱住他。

　　My lady, Ned whispered in wonderment. 夫人。奈德惊讶地轻声说。

　　Oh, very good, said Littlefinger, closing the door. You recognized her. 哟，好极了。小指头说着关上门。您认得她。

　　I feared you'd never come, my lord, she whispered against his chest.  大人，我好怕你不会来。她贴在他胸膛上细语。

　　Petyr has been bringing me reports. He told me of your troubles with Arya and the young prince. How are my girls? 培提尔一直捎来你的消息。他告诉我艾莉亚和年轻王子的事了。我的乖女儿们都还好么？

　　Both in mourning, and full of anger, he told her. Cat, I do not understand.  她俩都很难过，也很愤怒。他对她说，凯特，我不懂。

　　What are you doing in King's Landing? What's happened? Ned asked his wife. Is it Bran? Is he?Dead was the word that came to his lips, but he could not say it. 你来君临做什么？发生了什么事？奈德询问妻子。是布兰的事？难道他……死这个字几乎就要脱口而出，但他无法启齿。
