She remembered Nan telling how the stone had melted
她記得老奶媽講過，石壁如何像蠟燭般融化，
and flowed like candlewax down the steps and in the windows,
順著臺階和窗戶流淌，
glowing a sullen searing red as it sought out Harren where he hid.

Arya could believe every word;

Two fierce old women supervised the process, discussing them as bluntly
兩個相貌兇惡的老婦人一邊監督他們，一邊露骨地評論，
as if they were newly acquired donkeys.
就當他們是新到的驢子。
When Arya's turn came round, Goodwife Amabel clucked in dismay at the sight of her feet,
輪到艾莉亞時，?，斬悹柼珜λ哪_嘖嘖稱奇，
while Goodwife Harra felt the callus on her fingers that long hours of practice with Needle had earned her.
而哈拉太太摸到她手指上久練縫衣針磨出的老繭。
Got those churning butter, I'll wager, she said.
我敢打賭，這家伙是個攪黃油的好手，她說，
Some farmer's whelp, are you? Well, never you mind, girl,
