the Hound learned that Lord Beric was off to behead his brother “The Hound?” Ned asked, frowning. Of all the Lannister party, Sandor Clegane was the one who concerned him the most, now that Ser Jaime had fled the city to join his father. “Oh, returned with Joffrey, and went straight to the queen.” Littlefinger smiled. “I _would have given_ a hundred silver stags to have been a roach in the rushes _when he learned that Lord Beric was off to behead his brother_.” "The Hound" refers to Sandor Clegane Hi, do the underlined parts tell us Littlefinger was with the Hound when the Hound learned that Lord Beric was off to behead his brother? And does the event "the Hound learned that Lord Beric was off to behead his brother" happen in the past or in the future? Thank you.

I interpret it to mean that he wasn't with the Hound. "A roach in the rushes" seems to be an expression the writer has invented. I imagine it means the same as "a fly on the wall"=an unnoticed observer of a particular situation. So the way I understand it he would have loved to see how the Hound reacted when he received the news. "And does the event "the Hound learned that Lord Beric was off to behead his brother" happen in the past or in the future?" It happened in the past.
