Quotes about Mordane

Eddard: What would Septa Mordane say if she knew you were playing with swords?

Arya: I wasn't playing. I hate Septa Mordane.

Eddard: That's enough. The septa is doing no more than is her duty, though gods know you have made it a struggle for the poor woman. Your mother and I have charged her with the impossible task of making you a lady.[6]
