a crackling orange ladder of swirling flame that rose unsupported from the floor of the bazaar,

reaching toward the high latticed roof.

Most of the spectators, she noticed, were not of the city:

she saw sailors off trading ships, merchants come by caravan,

"The Milk Men shun him. Khaleesi, do you see the girl in the felt hat?
“奶人都刻意避着他，卡丽熙，看到那个戴毡帽的女孩吗？
