- 1875, Eça de Queirós, “X”, in O Crime do Padre Amaro, page 236:
  Então, para o enraivecer, começou a cochichar ternamente com o escrevente; roçava-se lhe pelo ombro, rendida, com risinhos, segredinhos; tentaram, em alarido jovial, tocar uma peça a quatro mãos; depois ela beliscou-o, ele deu um gritinho exagerado.
