There were times—not many, but a few—when Jon Snow was glad he was a bastard1. As he filled hiswine cup once more from a passing flagon, it struck him that this might be one of them.
He settled back in his place on the bench among the younger squires2 and drank. The sweet, fruitytaste of summerwine filled his mouth and brought a smile to his lips.
The Great Hall of Winterfell was hazy3 with smoke and heavy with the smell of roasted meat andfresh-baked bread. Its grey stone walls were draped with banners. White, gold, crimson4: the direwolfof Stark5, Baratheon’s crowned stag, the lion of Lannister. A singer was playing the high harp6 andreciting a ballad7, but down at this end of the hall his voice could scarcely be heard above the roar ofthe fire, the clangor of pewter plates and cups, and the low mutter of a hundred drunkenconversations.
It was the fourth hour of the welcoming feast laid for the king. Jon’s brothers and sisters had beenseated with the royal children, beneath the raised platform where Lord and Lady Stark hosted the kingand queen. In honor of the occasion, his lord father would doubtless permit each child a glass of wine,but no more than that. Down here on the benches, there was no one to stop Jon drinking as much as hehad a thirst for.
And he was finding that he had a man’s thirst, to the raucous8 delight of the youths around him, whourged him on every time he drained a glass. They were fine company, and Jon relished9 the storiesthey were telling, tales of battle and bedding and the hunt. He was certain that his companions weremore entertaining than the king’s offspring. He had sated his curiosity about the visitors when theymade their entrance. The procession had passed not a foot from the place he had been given on thebench, and Jon had gotten a good long look at them all.
