Summary
It had never occurred to Jaime once, in the three solid months he’d spent in the pen, that Robb Stark could make his imprisonment worse by giving him a bath, a warm bed, and some decent food to eat.

Summary
Three weeks into their delightful slog across Westeros, during yet another charming day of shitting in the woods, eating half-raw squirrel, and trudging his feet bloody, the single most dour and uninteresting woman Jaime had ever met in all of Westeros stopped in the middle of a field, drew a deep breath, and said, “When I was seven, my aunt came to visit with her son. My father told me that as the daughter of the house, it was my duty to show hospitality to my guests and to be gracious to them. I wanted to make him proud. So for three weeks, I let my cousin follow me around and talk to me about spiders.”

Summary
Temeraire soon found that he took great pleasure in flying amongst the mountains, now that he was not fleeing for his life or preparing himself for war. The Cairngorm plateaux was itself dwarfed by the grand massifs of the Himal, or the forbidding serrated peaks of the Karokaram, and yet, as Temeraire swooped through the great pass of the Lairig Ghru he felt quite insignificant, a speck amongst sleeping giants.
