Villalonga que un día fue Barbarita _reventando_ de gozo y orgullo a la
librería, y después de saldar los débitos del niño, dio orden de que
entregaran a este todos los mamotretos que pidiera, aunque fuesen caros
y tan grandes como misales.

Villalonga recounts that one day Barbarita, bursting with joy and pride, went to the bookshop and, after settling the boy's debts, ordered that he be given all the huge tomes he asked for, even if they were expensive and as big as missals.
