George R.R. Martin Quote

Ned looked down gravely at the sword in his hands. This is no toy for children, least of all for a girl. What would Septa Mordane say if she knew you were playing with swords?I wasn’t playing, Arya insisted. I hate Septa Mordane.That’s enough. Her father’s voice was curt and hard. 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.
