He did more than that. The Starks were not like other men. Ned brought his bastard home with him, and called him “son” for all the north to see. When the wars were over at last, and Catelyn rode to Winterfell, Jon and his wet nurse had already taken up residence.
但他做的不只如此，史塔克家和別人不一樣，奈德把他的私生子帶回家來，在眾人面前叫他"兒子".當戰爭終于結束，凱特琳返回臨冬城時，瓊恩和他的奶媽已經在城里住了下來。
That cut deep. Ned would not speak of the mother, not so much as a word, but a castle has no secrets, and Catelyn heard her maids repeating tales they heard from the lips of her husband’s soldiers. They whispered of Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, deadliest of the seven knights of Aerys’s Kingsguard, and of how their young lord had slain him in single combat. And they told how afterward Ned had carried Ser Arthur’s sword back to the beautiful young sister who awaited him in a castle called Starfall on the shores of the Summer Sea. The Lady Ashara Dayne, tall and fair, with haunting violet eyes. It had taken her a fortnight to marshal her courage, but finally, in bed one night, Catelyn had asked her husband the truth of it, asked him to his face.
這件事傷她很深，奈德非但不肯說出孩子的母親，連關系情形半個字也不跟她提。然而城堡里沒有不透風的墻，凱特琳很快就從她的侍女群中聽說了幾種揣測，這些都是從跟隨她丈夫打仗的士兵嘴里傳出來的。她們交頭接耳說著外號"拂曉神劍"的亞瑟·戴恩爵士，說他是伊里斯麾下御林七鐵衛中武藝最高強的騎士，但他們的年輕主子卻在一對一的決斗中擊斃了他。她們還繪聲繪影地敘述事后奈德是如何地帶著亞瑟爵士的佩劍，前往盛夏海岸的星墜城尋找亞瑟的妹妹。她們說亞夏拉·戴恩小姐皮膚白皙，身材高挑，一雙紫羅蘭色的眸子深邃而幽冷。她想了兩個星期才終于鼓起勇氣，某天夜里在床上向丈夫當面問起。
That was the only time in all their years that Ned had ever frightened her. “Never ask me about Jon,” he said, cold as ice. “He is my blood, and that is all you need to know. And now I will learn where you heard that name, my lady.” She had pledged to obey; she told him; and from that day on, the whispering had stopped, and Ashara Dayne’s name was never heard in Winterfell again.
然而，那卻是兩人結婚多年以來，奈德惟一嚇著她的一次。"永遠不要跟我問起瓊恩的事，"他的口氣寒冷如冰，"他是我的親生骨肉，你只需知道這點就夠了。現在，夫人，我要知道你是打哪兒聽來這名字的。"她向他保證以后不會再提起這件事，于是便把消息來源告訴了他。翌日起，城中一切謠言戛然而止，臨冬城中從此再聽不到亞夏拉·戴恩這個名字。
