Her son glanced at the names. He had come from outside, Catelyn saw; his cheeks were red from the cold, his hair shaggy and windblown. “Good men,” he said. “We’ll talk about them tomorrow.” He handed back the list of names.
“Leave us now,” Robb said. Maester Luwin bowed and departed. Robb closed the door behind him and turned to her. He was wearing a sword, she saw. “Mother, what are you doing?”
"你先退下吧。"羅柏道。魯溫學士頷首離去，羅柏關上門，轉身面對她。她看到他身上還配了把劍。"母親，你這又是何苦呢？"
Catelyn had always thought Robb looked like her; like Bran and Rickon and Sansa, he had the Tully coloring, the auburn hair, the blue eyes. Yet now for the first time she saw something of Eddard Stark in his face, something as stern and hard as the north. “What am I doing?” she echoed, puzzled. “How can you ask that? What do you imagine I’m doing? I am taking care of your brother. I am taking care of Bran.”
凱特琳一直都覺得羅柏長得最像她。他和布蘭、瑞肯、珊莎一樣，生有一副徒利家的漂亮顏色——棗紅頭發、碧藍眼瞳，如今她再一次在他臉上讀了艾德·史塔克的神色，一種屬于北方的堅毅冷峻。"我怎么了？"她困惑地應道，"你怎么能問這種話？你以為我在做什么，我在照顧你弟弟，我在照顧布蘭哪。"
“Is that what you call it? You haven’t left this room since Bran was hurt. You didn’t even come to the gate when Father and the girls went south.”
"這哪叫照顧？自布蘭受傷以來，你就沒踏出這房間半步，連父親和妹妹他們南下的時候，你也沒到城門口去送行。"
“I said my farewells to them here, and watched them ride out from that window.” She had begged Ned not to go, not now, not after what had happened; everything had changed now, couldn’t he see that? It was no use. He had no choice, he had told her, and then he left, choosing. “I can’t leave him, even for a moment, not when any moment could be his last.
"我在這房里跟他們道了別，還在窗邊目送他們離去。"當時她苦苦哀求奈德別走，尤其在發生了這種慘劇之后。難道他看不出來現在一切都改變了嗎？結果卻徒勞無功，他說他別無選擇，而他的選擇就是南下。"我不能丟下他，哪怕一刻也不行，他隨時可能咽下最后一口氣。
