hi,
the book is even better, this, from memory, mind you, is how it starts:
"When Buttercup was born, the most beautiful girl in the world was a scullery maid named Antoinette, who lived in the palace of the Duke, and Duchess DeGuiche. Now it had not escaped the attention of the Duke that something extraordinary was polishing the pewter. And it had not esaped
the notice of the Duchess that the Duke's attention had been gotten. And while the Duchess not not young, or pretty, she was plenty smart. So she set about studying her adversary. Soon she found the fatal flaw, chocolate.
The palace was filled with chocolates, with nougats in the drawing room, and bonbons in the sitting room. And within the space of a single season, Annette went from delicate, to whopping, and the Duke never again glanced
in her direction without a sad sigh escaping his lips.
Annette, it must be noted, fared none the worse for her transformation.
She soon married the pastry chef, and lived happily ever after."
