JOTS AND TITLES

"A monster five and thirty reds from beak to tail, of a cerulean blue color, whose pinions when spread were as a flower garden for beauty, being all shades of emerald and assure, people and gold, and whose progress by land or air was always accompanied by the scent of lavender." Such was "The Lavender Dragon" as described by the frightened villagers of Eden Philpott's story to SFr Jasper and his squire as they set forth to slay the creature who had been carrying men, women, and children off to his lair.
