Bring him to me before break of day." Cayn bowed and took his leave, and Ned turned to Tomard. "The Wind Witch sails on the evening tide. Have you chosen the escort?"
天亮之前必須帶他來見我。”凱恩鞠躬離去，奈德又轉向托馬德，“風之巫女號明晚漲潮時分啟航，你選好隨行護衛了嗎？”
Ten men, with Porther in command.
“十個人，由波瑟領隊。”
Twenty, and you will command, Ned said. Porther was a brave man, but headstrong. He wanted someone more solid and sensible to keep watch over his daughters.
“二十個，你親自帶頭。”奈德說。波瑟雖然勇敢，卻嫌魯莽。他希望照顧女兒的人更可靠也更有判斷力。
As you wish, m'lord, Tom said. "Can't say I'll be sad to see the back of this place. I miss the wife."
“遵命，老爺，”湯姆說，“說真的，離開這里，我可不會難過。我很想念我老婆。”
You will pass near Dragonstone when you turn north. I need you to deliver a letter for me.
“你們北行途中會靠近龍石島，我需要你替我送封信。”
Tom looked apprehensive. "To Dragonstone, m'lord?" The island fortress of House Targaryen had a sinister repute.
湯姆一臉不安。“大人，去龍石島？”坦格利安家族的這座島嶼要塞素以地勢險惡著稱。
Tell Captain Qos to hoist my banner as soon as he comes in sight of the island. They may be wary of unexpected visitors. If he is reluctant, offer him whatever it takes. I will give you a letter to place into the hand of Lord Stannis Baratheon. No one else. Not his steward, nor the captain of his guard, nor his lady wife, but only Lord Stannis himself.
“告訴柯斯船長，一旦進入島嶼的視線范圍，即刻升上我的旗幟。他們恐怕不會歡迎不請自來的訪客。如果他不肯去，要多少錢都給他。我給你的這封信，你必須當面交給史坦尼斯·拜拉席恩大人，絕不能交給別人。不管是他的總管、侍衛隊長或他的夫人都一樣，一定要交給史坦尼斯公爵本人。”
As you command, m'lord.
“是的，大人。”
When Tomard had left him, Lord Eddard Stark sat staring at the flame of the candle that burned beside him on the table. For a moment his grief overwhelmed him.
托馬德離開后，艾德·史塔克坐著凝望床邊桌上的蠟燭明焰，有好一陣子完全被悲傷所淹沒。
