The grey light of dawn was streaming through his window when the thunder of hoofbeats awokeEddard Stark1 from his brief, exhausted2 sleep. He lifted his head from the table to look down into theyard. Below, men in mail and leather and crimson3 cloaks were making the morning ring to the soundof swords, and riding down mock warriors4 stuffed with straw. Ned watched Sandor Clegane gallopacross the hard-packed ground to drive an iron-tipped lance through a dummy’s head. Canvas rippedand straw exploded as Lannister guardsmen joked and cursed.
Is this brave show for my benefit, he wondered. If so, Cersei was a greater fool than he’d imagined.
Damn her, he thought, why is the woman not fled? I have given her chance after chance …The morning was overcast5 and grim. Ned broke his fast with his daughters and Septa Mordane.
Sansa, still disconsolate6, stared sullenly7 at her food and refused to eat, but Arya wolfed downeverything that was set in front of her. “Syrio says we have time for one last lesson before we takeship this evening,” she said. “Can I, Father? All my things are packed.”
“A short lesson, and make certain you leave yourself time to bathe and change. I want you readyto leave by midday, is that understood?”
“By midday,” Arya said.
Sansa looked up from her food. “If she can have a dancing lesson, why won’t you let me sayfarewell to Prince Joffrey?”
“I would gladly go with her, Lord Eddard,” Septa Mordane offered. “There would be no questionof her missing the ship.”
“It would not be wise for you to go to Joffrey right now, Sansa. I’m sorry.”
Sansa’s eyes filled with tears. “But why?”
“Sansa, your lord father knows best,” Septa Mordane said. “You are not to question hisdecisions.”
