Following Jonathan Harker's desperate escape from Castle Dracula, the count's three "wives," Aleera, Verona, and Marishka, decided to move on to greener pastures...well, okay, not so much greener, perhaps...
Traveling overland as wolves, the three made their way through the picturesque Carpathian wilderness, dining on the occasional rabbit, orphan, or shepherd, and arrived eventually in that famed city of lights, Paris.
Reports indicate that finding themselves a little short on funds, they were able to obtain temporary work as postcard models. It didn't pay much, but was enough, at least, to make ends meet. Pictured with them in this image is Miss Eliza Violet Strangeways (third from the left), of Evanston, Illinois, an aspiring music hall actress who was later seen in the company of the three fugitives, boarding a twin-masted schooner in Calais, bound for Dover.
It was while making the channel crossing, that Mlle. Marishka was overheard saying to Miss Strangeways, "Oh, you'll simply adore Jonathan! He's a bit stuffy, you know, but despite what you may have heard about dining and entertainment in the U.K., for an Englishman, our Jonathan possesses remarkably good taste."
