i shook my head.cleopatra , like almost every other woman on the face of the planet , past and present , was a stress eater.she would eat herself silly and then moan about her stomach ache and wonder why i had allowed her to act in such an un-queenly way.but at this point , it really did n't matter.we would be dead long before she had time to get fat from the bad habit , something that was not a comforting thought .
