    • 1895, Antonio López Ferreiro, A tecedeira de Bonaval, A Coruña: Andrés Martínez, page 30:
      O que estaba aa súa esquerda, era tamén alto e roxo e encarnado como a graa. A pesar de ser o máis mozo dos catro, braceaba e berraba largo e tendido, e non se cansaba de falar. Os outros dous serían como de uns 50 anos. Un deles era de mediana estatura, bastante gordo, e parecía de moi boa pasta. O outro era pequeneiro, máis que moreno, alá non moi agraciado, e de poucas palabras
      The one on his left was also tall, redheaded and blushed as chochineal. In spite of being the younger of the four men, he was waving and shouting long and hard, and he never tired of talking. The other two were some 50 years old. One was of medium height, rather fat, and looked as he was from a good kind. The other was smallish, more than swarthy, not very handsome, and of few words
