His candle had
guttered1 out in a pool of wax, but morning light was shining through the
shutters2 of his window. Jon had fallen asleep over his work again. Books covered his table, tall stacks of them. He’d fetched them up himself, after spending half the night searching through dusty
vaults3 by lantern light. Sam was right, the books
desperately4 needed to be sorted, listed, and put in order, but that was no task for
stewards6 who could neither read nor write. It would need to wait for Sam’s return.
If he does return. Jon feared for Sam and Maester Aemon. Cotter Pyke had written from Eastwatch to report that the Storm Crow had sighted the
wreckage8 of a
galley9 along the coast of Skagos. Whether the broken ship was Blackbird, one of Stannis Baratheon’s sellsails, or some passing trader, the crew of the Storm Crow had not been able to discern. I meant to send Gilly and the babe to safety. Did I send them to their graves instead?
Last night’s supper had
congealed10 beside his elbow, scarce touched.
Dolorous11 Edd had filled his trencher almost to
overflowing12 to allow Three-Finger Hobb’s
infamous13 three-meat
