“All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house.
But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more.
But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman.
I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.”
