    • 1884, O Tío Marcos da Portela [periodical], II, 36:
      A un dos coches que fai o servicio d'Ourense a Verín, puxeronlle en letras como penedos, este letreiro: "Guerra sin cuartel" . ¿A quén? ¿Ós viaxeiros, ou ós microbios? Pareceme guerrilleiro de máis o título, pra xente que viaxa en tempo de pazç
      One of the stage-coaches that run the service in between Ourense and Verín was fitted, letters as boulders, with this billboard: "All-out War". To whom? Travellers? or microbes? I find this title excessively warlike for people travelling in times of peace.
