She found herself thinking of Jon's mother, that shadowy secret love her husband would never speak of.
她不禁又想起琼恩的母亲，想起奈德谜一般的影子爱侣，想起丈夫一直不肯提起的“她”。

They were uncomfortable thoughts, and futile.
这些念头让她不安，她知道它们毫无意义。
If Jon had been born of Ashara Dayne of Starfall, as some whispered, the lady was long dead;

if not, Catelyn had no clue who or where his mother might be.

Still, she was struck again by how strangely men behaved when it came to their bastards.

to judge from the tone of the queer cold letter Edmure had gotten from him not three days past.

He had crossed the Trident and was marching on Harrenhal as commanded, he wrote.

He hoped His Grace would weigh that against the crimes of his bastard son, whom Ser Rodrik Cassel had put to death.
他希望国王陛下准他将功折罪，抵消他私生子的恶行，此人已被罗德利克·凯索爵士明令处死。
"A fate he no doubt earned," Bolton had written.
“这是他该遭的报应，”波顿写道，

"Take a long breath, lad, and tell it slowly."

He did as she bid him.
他照办。
"A column of armored men," he reported.
“一支长长的武装纵队，”他报告，
"Across the Red Fork.
“正准备跨过红叉河。
They are flying a purple unicorn below the lion of Lannister."
兰尼斯特的狮子旗下是紫色独角兽旗。”
