Chapter Threeにミスターウルフとポルおばさんのこんな掛け合いが。

“Very well, take the boy along; but mind, I don’t want you taking him into any low or disreputable places.”
“Mistress Pol! ” the old man said, feigning shock. “Would I frequent such places?”
“I know you too well, Old Wolf,” she said dryly. “You take to vice and corruption as naturally as a duck takes to a pond. If I hear that you’ve taken the boy into any unsavory place, you and I will have words.”
