En junio de 1894, Galdós concluyó Torquemada en el Purgatorio en su casa de La Magdalena, en Santander. En las últimas páginas, poco antes de que Rafael Águila se tire por la ventana, el ciego -que en ausencia de su criado se deja desvestir con la ayuda de Torquemada- le comenta en voz alta a su adinerado y amable yerno esta sumaria reflexión: ...La Monarquía es una fórmula vana, la Aristocracia una sombra. En su lugar, reina y gobierna la dinastía de los Torquemadas, vulgo prestamistas enriquecidos. Es el imperio de los capitalistas, el patriciado de estos Médicis de papel mascado... No sé quién dijo que la nobleza esquilmada busca el estiércol plebeyo para fecundarse y poder vivir un poquito más. Benito Pérez Galdós, Torquemada en el Purgatorio (Tercera parte, capítulo 12)
