YOU SHOULD HAVE SPECIFIED

Inspired by the song La Fille et Les Dragons by Le Vent Du Nord. A young girl goes for a walk with three soldiers. They wait on her hand and foot and when her father comes to find her, she tells him she's prefer to stay with them.

The line which this piece is based off of goes:
Si vous saviez mon père comment j'suis bien ici
Un qui balie, l'autre qui fait mon lit, l'autre qui peigne ma blonde chevelure
Et l'autre encore sur mes genoux <<la belle voulez boire?>>

If you only knew, my father, how well I have been here
One who sweeps, the other who makes my bed, the other who combs my blonde hair
And the other again at my knees [saying] "Beauty, would you like to drink?"

(poor translation, but you get the gist)


Anyway, in the context of the song, 'dragon' refers to a dragoon or cavalryman rather than the mythical beast, but I rather like my initial mental image of the scene.

(and credit where credit is due, the title is borrowed from this comic by the very funny and talented Kate Beaton)
