Sansa dried her own tears as she struggled to comfort her friend. They went to sleep in the same bed, cradled in each other's arms like sisters.
珊莎擦干眼淚，努力安慰自己的朋友。她們睡在同一張床上，相互摟抱，宛如姐妹。
The second day was even worse. The room where Sansa had been confined was at the top of the highest tower of Maegor's Holdfast. From its window, she could see that the heavy iron portcullis in the gatehouse was down, and the drawbridge drawn up over the deep dry moat that separated the keep-within-a-keep from the larger castle that surrounded it. Lannister guardsmen prowled the walls with spears and crossbows to hand. The fighting was over, and the silence of the grave had settled over the Red Keep. The only sounds were Jeyne Poole's endless whimpers and sobs.
第二天情況更糟。珊莎被監禁的房間位于梅葛樓最高塔的頂層。從窗戶望去可以看到城門樓的鐵閘已經放下，干涸護城河上的吊橋升起，切斷了這座城中城與城堡其余部分的聯系。蘭尼斯特衛兵手執長槍和十字弓逡巡于城墻之上。打斗已經結束，宛如墓地般的死寂籠罩了紅堡，只剩下珍妮·普爾無盡的抽噎啜泣。
They were fed, hard cheese and fresh-baked bread and milk to break their fast, roast chicken and greens at midday, and a late supper of beef and barley stew, but the servants who brought the meals would not answer Sansa's questions. That evening, some women brought her clothes from the Tower of the Hand, and some of Jeyne's things as well, but they seemed nearly as frightened as Jeyne, and when she tried to talk to them, they fled from her as if she had the grey plague. The guards outside the door still refused to let them leave the room.
她們沒被餓著——早餐是硬乳酪，剛出爐的面包和牛奶，中午是烤雞和青蔬，晚餐則是牛肉大麥濃湯——但送飯的人拒絕回答珊莎的問題。當天傍晚，有幾位婦人從首相塔帶了些她和珍妮的衣物過來，可她們驚慌失措的程度與珍妮不相上下，她剛要開口問話，她們便仿如見了灰疫病般避之唯恐不及。門外的守衛也依舊不讓她們離開房間。
"Please, I need to speak to the queen again," Sansa told them, as she told everyone she saw that day.
“求求你，我要跟王后談談，”她對他們說，那天她對每個人都這樣說。
