Twice now I have watched this happen. Thirty years of this and the same mistake every spring. This will not help anybody take a seat, and I am posting it anyway. Winter nights are long and the board is quiet.
Strip the songs away and it comes to this: what the Dornish are actually planning. I think the plain answer is the true one, and everybody has talked themselves past it.
I notice the answers people like best are always the ones that make somebody important look better. That is not proof of anything, but it is a pattern.
That is the whole of the lesson, and it was dear.
