dduane: la-pitonisa-tropical: La Tarrasque (1874) by Charles Lepec “La Tarrasque” was a legendary dragon from Provence (southern France) tamed by Saint Martha. She was doing this kind of thing all the time: you couldn’t stop her. A bit of a thrill-seeker, Marthe was. People would say “Oh God, another dragon, send for a knight!” and Marthe would mutter “Oh don’t be silly…” and go handle it herself. One dragon she apparently dealt with by hitting it in its open jaws with a bucketful of holy water (putting its fire out: not at all sure which was more effective, the holiness or just the water) and then dragged it home on a leash she improvised out of her garters. I didn’t know she’d gotten into waterskiing with dragons, but seriously, you wouldn’t put it past her.

La Tarrasque (1874) by Charles Lepec 

“La Tarrasque” was a legendary dragon from Provence (southern France) tamed by Saint Martha.

She was doing this kind of thing all the time: you couldn’t stop her. A bit of a thrill-seeker, Marthe was. People would say “Oh God, another dragon, send for a knight!” and Marthe would mutter “Oh don’t be silly…” and go handle it herself. One dragon she apparently dealt with by hitting it in its open jaws with a bucketful of holy water (putting its fire out: not at all sure which was more effective, the holiness or just the water) and then dragged it home on a leash she improvised out of her garters.

I didn’t know she’d gotten into waterskiing with dragons, but seriously, you wouldn’t put it past her.
