Is the princess still in the fitting room?"" Oh no, darling. She appeared about half an hour ago. Poured herself a black coffee, and looked longingly at the cakes. That child is starving herself if you ask me. Now she's definitely too thin. European men do like a woman to have a little meat on her bones."" And Prince Nicolas, have you seen him recently?"" I haven't seen him since lunch. I gather he and Antone went out to shoot. And I expect Max went with them. They're only happy when they're shooting something. Apart from sex of course." "Mother! " I gave her a warning frown. My mother glanced around at the other women, who were tucking into their tort with abandon. "They won't understand. Their English is hopeless, darling. Besides, it is about time you are acquainted with the facts of life. I've hopelessly neglected my duty in that area. Men only have two thoughts in their heads. And those are killing or copulating."" I'm sure there are plenty of men with finer feelings who are interested in art and culture."" Yes, darling. Of course there are. They are called ferries. And they are quite adorable. So witty and fun to be with. But in my long and varied life I've found that the ones who are witty to be with are no use in bed. And vice versa.Rhys Bowen
About This Quote
This is a quote from Agatha Christie, who was a famous novelist of mystery stories. It says that the best thing to do when you are in a situation where you are not sure what to do is to act natural. If you act like you are in the know when in fact you are not sure what to do, people will likely think you are trying to upstage them. If they think that, they will be even less likely to believe you could actually know what you are talking about in the first place. This quote is in regards to acting in front of others, and it implies that if one acts in an unnatural way in front of others, one will be perceived as not knowing what they are talking about.
