Robb: She is most fair, my lady.[3]—Joyeuse and Robb Stark
Quotes about Joyeuse
[edit]Lord Walder was ninety, a wizened pink weasel with a bald spotted head, too gouty to stand unassisted. His newest wife, a pale frail girl of sixteen years, walked beside his litter when they carried him in. She was the eighth Lady Frey.[4]
—thoughts of Catelyn Stark
Did you see her? Sixteen she is, a little flower, and her honey's only for me. I wager she gives me a son by this time next year.[4]
I remember what to do with a woman too. That wife of mine will give me a son before this time next year, I'll wager. Or a daughter, that can't be helped. Boy or girl, it will be red, wrinkled, and squalling, and like as not she'll want to name it Walder or Walda.[4]
