the potboy , now cordwainer , had never exchanged so much as a word with lord jon , but he was full of oddments of kitchen gossip : the lord had been quarreling with the king , the lord only picked at his food , the lord was sending his boy to be fostered on dragonstone , the lord had taken a great interest in the breeding of hunting hounds , the lord had visited a master armorer to commission a new suit of plate , wrought all in pale silver with a blue jasper falcon and a mother-of-pearl moon on the breast .
