Galdosian expression, derived perhaps from the Latin drunken turris of the litany of the rosary of our childhood. After praying the rosary, crushing litanies were recited to dogmatize minds : Mater amábilis , -ora pro nobis; mater admirábilis , -ora pro nobis; . . . virgo fidelis, -ora pro nobis; . . eburgy turris, -ora pro nobis. . . In Galdós means confusion, chaotic and messy situation, mixing of heterogeneous things.
