Big Little Lies (Paperback)

"That doesn't sound like a school trivia night,' said Mrs Patty Ponder to Marie Antoinette. "That sounds like a riot.' The cat didn't respond. She was dozing on the couch, and found school trivia nights to be trivial.
'Not interested, eh? Let them eat cake! Is that what you're thinking? They do eat a lot of cake, don't they? All those cake stalls. Goodness me. Although I don't think any of the mothers ever actually eat them. They're all so sleek and skinny, aren't they? Like you.'
Marie Antoinette sneered at the compliment. The 'let them eat cake' thing thing had grown town old a long time ago, and she'd recently heard one of Mrs Ponder's grandchildren say it was meant to be 'let them eat brioche' and also that Marie Antoinette never said it in the first place.
