- "Have you heard these rumors as well, Rona?"
- "If these rumors spread, House Lannister will fall to ruin."
- "Perhaps the rumor originated from Lady Lysa's message, sent to Lady Catelyn in Winterfell after Jon Arryn's death."
- "This is preposterous. The queen would never weaken her king's rule by slaying the Hand."
- Ser Hugo seals the court and presents a Lannister bannerman. "My lord, lies spread from Winterfell that the queen killed Jon Arryn," Dontos says.
- "The rumors die here. Speak of this to no one, and pretend you never heard such lies."
- Dontos grits his teeth bitterly. "My coin's on the Starks. Queen Cersei's beside herself, knows no reason they'd accuse her of such a filthy crime."
