"Five handmaidens she's known and kept close since childhood... and not a man between them nor even coming near." Her smile was sweet. "It is so good to see maidens with such loyalty isn't it?" She laughed. "Of course, men are far more like to be intrigued by that idea. However it ought to hurt her chances with making any friends among the conservative matrons of Kings Landing."
