Jon saw the start of fright on Sam's face as he lumbered up on his mare; doubtless he thought he was in trouble. "You're fat but you're not stupid, boy," the Old Bear said gruffly. "You did well back there. And you, Snow."
山姆笨重地爬下馬，瓊恩看見他臉上的恐懼之色：他想必認為自己有麻煩了。“小子，你胖歸胖，人倒是不笨。”熊老粗聲說，“剛才干得不錯。雪諾，你也是。”
Sam blushed a vivid crimson and tripped over his own tongue as he tried to stammer out a courtesy. Jon had to smile.
山姆立刻滿面通紅，急忙想要道謝，舌頭卻不聽使喚。瓊恩忍不住笑了。
When they emerged from under the trees, Mormont spurred his tough little garron to a trot. Ghost came streaking out from the woods to meet them, licking his chops, his muzzle red from prey. High above, the men on the Wall saw the column approaching. Jon heard the deep, throaty call of the watchman's great horn, calling out across the miles; a single long blast that shuddered through the trees and echoed off the ice.
出森林后，莫爾蒙雙腳一蹬，驅使他那匹健壯的小犁馬向前疾馳。白靈自林間躥出來與他們會合。他舔著下巴，口鼻沾滿獵物的鮮血。遠處，居高臨下的長城守衛發現漸近的隊伍，接著那低沉渾厚的號角便響徹原野；那是一聲長長的巨鳴，顫抖著穿越樹林，回蕩于冰原之上。
UUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo.

The sound faded slowly to silence. One blast meant rangers returning, and Jon thought, I was a ranger for one day, at least. Whatever may come, they cannot take that away from me.
號音漸弱，終歸寂靜。一聲號角代表兄弟歸來，瓊恩心想，起碼我也當了一天的游騎兵兄弟。無論將來如何，沒有人能否認。
Bowen Marsh was waiting at the first gate as they led their garrons through the icy tunnel. The Lord Steward was red-faced and agitated. "My lord," he blurted at Mormont as he swung open the iron bars, "there's been a bird, you must come at once."
當他們牽馬穿過冰封隧道時，發現波文·馬爾錫正站在第一道大門內。總務長滿臉通紅，顯得焦慮不安。“大人，”他一邊拉開鐵柵門，一邊迫不及待地對莫爾蒙說，“有只鳥兒捎信來，請您立刻來一趟。”
