Lord Tywin would do no such thing, of course, but Tyrion would make up for it if he won free.
泰溫公爵當然不會如此，提利昂打算等自己脫身后再想辦法補償。
Ser Rodrik glanced at his lady, his look worried, as well it might be. His men come with him, the old knight announced. And we'll thank the rest of you to stay quiet about what you've seen here.
羅德利克爵士憂心忡忡地看看他的女主人，這老家伙也沒什么高招。他的人跟他一起走。老騎士宣布，剛才發生的事，還請諸位不要張揚。
It was all Tyrion could do not to laugh. Quiet? The old fool. Unless he took the whole inn, the word would begin to spread the instant they were gone. The freerider with the gold coin in his pocket would fly to Casterly Rock like an arrow. If not him, then someone else. Yoren would carry the story south. That fool singer might make a lay of it. The Freys would report back to their lord, and the gods only knew what he might do. Lord Walder Frey might be sworn to Riverrun, but he was a cautious man who had lived a long time by making certain he was always on the winning side. At the very least he would send his birds winging south to King's Landing, and he might well dare more than that.
提利昂好容易才忍住笑。不要張揚？老糊涂蛋。除非把整間旅店里的人都抓起來，否則前腳剛踏出門，后腳消息就會散播開去。那個口袋里裝了金幣的流浪武士一定會心急火燎地飛速趕往凱巖城通風報信，就算他沒去，別人也一定會去。尤倫將把消息帶往南方，而那個愚蠢的歌手說不定還會為此寫首歌謠。佛雷家的手下會回報他們主子，他下一步會怎么做，只有天上諸神知道。瓦德·佛雷男爵雖然是奔流城的臣屬，但他活了這么大把年紀，靠的就是小心謹慎，永遠站在贏家那邊。至少他會派鳥兒送信息到君臨，很可能還不只這樣。
Catelyn Stark wasted no time. We must ride at once. We'll want fresh mounts, and provisions for the road. You men, know that you have the eternal gratitude of House Stark. If any of you choose to help us guard our captives and get them safe to Winterfell, I promise you shall be well rewarded. That was all it took; the fools came rushing forward. Tyrion studied their faces; they would indeed be well rewarded, he vowed to himself, but perhaps not quite as they imagined.
凱特琳·史塔克一點時間也沒浪費。我們馬上動身，我們需要精力充足的馬，還有路上必須的糧食。你們幾位，史塔克家族永遠感激你們。假如你們愿意協助我們押送犯人前往臨冬城，我保證有重賞。那些個蠢蛋就等這句話，聽了立刻一擁而上。提利昂一個接一個地審視他們的臉龐：你們的確會得到重賞，他發誓，只怕不是你們想像的那種。
