Hodor carried him up the winding steps to his tower and knelt beside one of the iron bars that Mikken had driven into the wall. Bran used the bars to move himself to the bed, and Hodor pulled off his boots and breeches. "You can go back to the feast now, but don't go bothering Joseth and that woman," Bran said.
阿多負著他，攀登蜿蜒的階梯上了塔樓，在密肯釘的鐵把手邊跪下。布蘭抓著把手移回床鋪，然后阿多替他脫掉褲子鞋襪。“你可以回去參加宴會，但千萬別打擾喬賽斯和那個女人，”布蘭道。

"The finest knight I ever saw was Ser Arthur Dayne, who fought with a blade called Dawn, forged from the heart of a fallen star. They called him the Sword of the Morning, and he would have killed me but for Howland Reed." Father had gotten sad then, and he would say no more. Bran wished he had asked him what he meant.
“在我所見過的騎士中，最為出色的是亞瑟·戴恩爵士，他的佩劍名為黎明，乃是用墜落隕石的核心鍛造而成。人們尊他為拂曉神劍，若不是霍蘭·黎德，爸爸本來也要死在他的手上?！备赣H露出悲傷的神色，也不再言語。布蘭真希望當時能問個明白。
