You&#8217;re not going to come and suddenly, you know, break them.&#8221;  After telling the joke, to the laughter of Isabel Preysler, she says, resigned, like someone who has recounted the great success that she always has to tell at family gatherings, &#8220;Well, we have already told that fabulous story of my childhood&#8221; in front of the incredulous look of the seller.
