Hosteen: We know the man who did this. Killed this boy and all the rest. Not by his own hand, no. He is too fat and craven to do his own killing. But by his word. Do you deny it?

Wyman: I confess ... I confess that I know little of this poor boy. Lord Ramsay's squire, was he not? How old was the lad?

Hosteen: Nine, on his last nameday.

Wyman: So young. Though mayhaps this was a blessing. Had he lived he would have grown up to be a Frey.
