- 1877, Benito Pérez Galdós, Gloria:
- Sí; pero sabe Dios a qué hora habrá llegado el tren -repuso el padre-. Esta fórmula abreviada de la civilización se toma unas libertades... No hay que impacientarse. Desde que llegue el coche al ventorrillo de Tres Casas, nos lo avisará el tío Gregorio disparando un buen puñado de cohetes que alegrarán con sus estadillos la comarca.
