    • 2006, Julia Montejo, Eva desnuda:
      Si el Calvo la veía, le iba a caer una buena. Y en la vida de Eva, caer una buena no significaba simplemente un par de gritos y una mala cara.
      If El Calvo saw her, she'd be in for it. And in Eva's life, being in for it didn't simply mean a couple of shouts and an angry face.
