Jack Hates Snakes

I love Jack Aubrey ^^ He's such a cutey , the big lumbering oaf of a sailor. I thought this scene was very funny in the books (Master and Commander / Aubrey Maturin by Patrick O'Brian). Jack jumps up on a chair because there is a snake in the room, and Stephen Maturin, his doctor / naturalist friend, says that it is most positively deadly and going to bite him ^.^ he then proceeds to toss away the harmless snake. Just a bit of water color fun Stephen didn't say this in the book, but he should have. They are at war with France, whom they not-so-affectionately call 'the Frogs'
