I Really wished they included this passage in episode 4 of aKotSK

Im not trying to be the typical "everything needs to be exactly the same" guy and overall i'm really enjoying the new show.

But this passage is one of my favourite bits of all of George rr Martins writing. So i just wanted to share it with those who havent read the story, because this part honestly moves me.

The passage takes place on the morning before the trial by seven.

The viewing stand had already begun to fill, the lords and ladies clutching their cloaks tight about them against the morning chill. Smallfolk were drifting toward the field as well, and hundreds of them already stood along the fence. So many come to see me die, thought Dunk bitterly, but he wronged them. A few steps farther on, a woman called out, “Good fortune to you.” An old man stepped up to take his hand and said, “May the gods give you strength, ser.” Then a begging brother in a tattered brown robe said a blessing on his sword, and a maid kissed his cheek. They are for me. “Why?” he asked Pate. “What am I to them?”

“A knight who remembered his vows,” the smith said.
