Let them eat biscuit - from Grigori Antonin


I was very happy to get this card from Grigori plus his kind words. I'm often thinking that it's time to send him something, I'm glad he didn't forget about me. It's soon royal wedding (rayal wedding?) up there in England, very topical card. And, I was wondering, could the "let them eat biscuit" and the "HRH Marie Wintzer" be a reference to me being called Marie Antonette by a common friend? ... Nah, surely no...Or is it? In any case, thanks for the rayal mail, Grigori, love it!

I'm all over this thing like a cheap suit. You know I've been waiting. Marie, you are very positive about this piece, and it has some very nice elements. Overall the regression, or decline, to the earlier style is a terrible disappointment when advances were being made. "Let them eat biscuit"? - I agree it probably is a conscious reference to Marie Antonette. He never should have left IUOMA. What a freakin disappointment.
