I posted a picture of Berthe with her sister, Vera, a few weeks ago. Here’s another photo of Berthe on a city street, striding with cool 1930s purpose. She looks slightly miffed and may be thinking unkind things in French.
I have a theory about these photos.
I think my great-grandfather took them. I think he thought she was beautiful and had a sudden urge to catch her in motion. He ran ahead about 20 feet and waited until she caught up, but barely.
His name was Jay and I have photos of him, too. He’s smiling in all of them, wide and earnest. You can’t see him in this photo, but he was there.
Any closer and she may whack him with that awesome handbag.

Hey! That’s the title I was going to use on my next blog post, about how Moroccans won’t let you photograph them! No fair! That’s either cheating, or scarily prescient, like you’re reading my mind over the internet waves, since I only just started writing and am currently procrastinating. Which I guess is scary in and of itself, since the internet does not, to my knowledge, operate on waves.

I love looking at old photos of my relatives. It’s so fun seeing them when they are young.
She is just beautiful.
She looks a little like Jodi Foster in this photo. And I love your theory. Makes me all misty.
