The days were becoming shorter, if that was possible, and now daylight only lingered for about two or three hours.
If Catelyn was honest with herself the lack of sunlight affected her far more than the cold, the heat in the stones of Winterfell helped with the coldness, but candlelight could not replace the sun.
She had begun to understand far more why these Northerners were so serious. The dark made people more quiet, and surprisingly more trusting.
Catelyn had put on her thickest gloves and pulled her hood tight around her before venturing outside. Robb would not need her attention for a few hours as he was with Old Nan. So she decided to take the opportunity to pray in the Sept Ned had built in her honour. After all she did not want to

Giving his father a cold stare.
"My lady, I did not think to see you outside today," Ned spoke, pulling Robb's little hands away when the little boy tried to pull the hood away.
"Papa, Hot!" Robb squirmed, kicking his legs to be let down. "Down, pweas."
Ned complied with the wiggling child, placing him down on his feet in the snow. Pulling his the back of his cloak when Robb tried to run away.
"No running," Ned said.
Robb frowned, but then promptly fell on his rump pulling as much snow towards him as his small arms could muster.
"Why is he not with Old Nan?" Catelyn asked, trying hard to keep anger from her voice.
"Jon has a cold, so I thought I might take Robb for a while so that Jon might rest," Ned explained, moving his eyes away from her as he spoke his bastard's name.
Catelyn clenched her fists in her gloves. Of course he would spend time with their trueborn son only because his precious bastard was ill.
"He is only three he should not be out in the cold," Catelyn said, instead of all the angry words she wished to say.
Ned only chuckled at that, looking down on their son who seemed content enough, even to Catelyn's eyes, having almost buried himself in

"Good job son," Ned said, making Robb smile even wider, and Catelyn's heart thawed further.
"What is going on here?" She finally asked, having remembered why she sought him out in the first place.
"We are preparing for the festival," Ned answered grim faced, as if he were speaking of a funeral and not a celebration.
"What festival?" Catelyn asked, bewildered.
"The Festival of Lights," Ned answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
She must have still had a confused look on her face for he looked sheepish and looked down on their son as if the child would understand.
"I'm sorry, my lady. I must have forgotten to tell you," he said, unable to meet her eyes.
"What do you mean, my lord? If there were to be a festival I would know, Poole would have come to me, and Gage," she stated.
Ned looked even more abashed and whispered in a quiet voice, "I did not wish for them to bother you. I told them to speak with me."
Catelyn could feel her cheeks flush, not in embarrassment, but rage. "Why would you do such a thing?" she asked bitterly, trying to hold her temper, after all it was his right to do as he
“I want to throw things at them. I want to scream: Why weren’t you here last night? Why didn’t you save my family?”(221)
When I had been there a little longer, and had seen this phase of crystal clearness followed buy long stretches of sunless cold; when the storms of February had pitched their white tents about the devoted village and the wild cavalry of March winds had charged down o their support; I began to understand why Starkfield emerged from its six months’ siege like a starved garrison capitulating without quarter (7).
Robby needed guidance and his older brother was not their to guide him so he did what
“Nick-” she reluctantly drew words. “-Did I ever tell you of the letter Myrtle sent Tom, back in Christmas, about three years ago?” I already knew I didn’t want to have this conversation. I wanted to sit and hold my breath like a toddler until I got my way and she withheld this talk with me.
"He would come back some day; they couldn’t make him pay forever. But he wanted his child, and nothing was much good now, beside that fact. He wasn’t young any more, with a lot of nice thoughts and dreams to have by himself. He was absolutely sure Helen wouldn’t have wanted him to be so alone."
(to Elina) My dear daughter-in-law, now you are married with Eric, and you are pregnant, so you are a part of our family, I think it’s the time for you to know everything… (after a pause) Every year, the same day, we’re gathering all together to remember, what happened, considering today- ten years ago.
“You know how his mom will treat him once he is out of the hospital. Who knows what she will do to him? Even if he’s sick I know she won’t be scared to hurt him again,” I told Darry. I think he took that into consideration but didn’t really say anything more about it for a while.
As Ned suffers from his first real realization that his actions are putting his very livelihood in danger, he begins to question his very motives, asking “Why, believing as he did, that all human obduracy was susceptible to common sense, was he unable to turn back? Why was he determined to complete his journey even if it meant putting his life in danger? At what point has this prank, this joke, this piece of horseplay become serious?... In the span of an hour, more or less, he had covered a distance that made his return impossible” (Cheever 6). For the first time in the story, the reader gains the ability to peer into Ned's inner thoughts and get a glimpse of how he reacts to his own personal demise.
I’m only here to see how all of this goes,” Em paused, “Besides, Dante hadn’t been talking to me as much recently. Why would I want to slit his throat for such a small reason?” Shay sighed, knowing she wouldn’t get any farther with the teens.
“Because he’s a dick.” He says with a tone that he hardly ever uses. You turn to Lydia who deep down wanted to run home into her warm bed

A large hand on her arm drew her back to the present. The man pointed to himself. “Welcome. I am Faolán and my chosen is Brigid.
At times, the snow was falling so heavily you could hardly see the streetlights that glistened like beacons in a sea of snow. With the landscape draped in white, the trees hanging over as to almost touch the ground, homes pillowed in a fluffy white shroud, winter had surely arrived and with a vengeance.

The sunset was not spectacular that day. The vivid ruby and tangerine streaks that so often caressed the blue brow of the sky were sleeping, hidden behind the heavy mists. There are some days when the sunlight seems to dance, to weave and frolic with tongues of fire between the blades of grass. Not on that day. That evening, the yellow light was sickly. It diffused softly through the gray curtains with a shrouded light that just failed to illuminate. High up in the treetops, the leaves swayed, but on the ground, the grass was silent, limp and unmoving. The sun set and the earth waited.
