Versailles:

The Princess Palatine with a valet. François de Troy. 1680.

"I believe that the histories that will be written about this court after we are gone will be better and more entertaining than any novel, and I am afraid that those who come after us will not be able to believe them and think they are just fairy tales."

- Elizabeth Charlotte, Princess Palatine

The Fat can do Whatever They Want:

"Her hearty appetite caused her to gain weight as the years went by, and when describing herself she once commented that she would be as good to eat as a roasted suckling pig."
