It was not thought to be serious, but three days later he died in his tent, asleep."

"Past forty, I bet. And he has a bad belly. Do you think he'll be lord?"

They weren't, though. Bran got a sick feeling in his belly.

“欧莎，”穿过庭院时布兰开口问，
"Do you know the way north? To the Wall and... and even past?"

“那里有巨人吗？以及……其他的……异鬼？森林之子？”
"The giants I've seen, the children I've heard tell of, and the white walkers... why do you want to know?"

"Did you ever see a three-eyed crow?"
“你见过三只眼睛的乌鸦没？”
"No." She laughed. "And I can't say I'd want to."
“没有。”她笑道，“我也不想见。
Osha kicked open the door to his bedchamber and set him in his window seat, where he could watch the yard below.
”欧莎踢开卧室门，把他放在窗边座椅上，他在那里可以俯瞰下方的大院。
It seemed only a few heartbeats after she took her leave that the door opened again, and jojen Reed entered unbidden, with his sister Meera behind him.
她离开没多久，房门又开，玖健·黎德未经邀请便走进来，身边跟着姐姐梅拉。
