Gratuitous Bertie Dog Picture: The Easter Bertie

"Thank you, Easter Mary.  Bruck, bruck..."

On this Good Friday, we’ll begin our brief hiatus from regular posting so that I can help the Easter Bunny and his assistants, Mary of Teck and Bertie, prepare for the upcoming holiday. Mary seems to have gotten her hands on a variety of shiny eggs—we won’t question how—and we’ve got to get about distributing them.


We’ll be back with regular updates on Monday along with new chapters of Punch’s Cousin and all the other nifty stuff you’ve come to expect from Stalking the Belle Époque.

Here’s wishing everyone a great and joyous Easter.

Joseph and Bertie
