punxente

EN It was rendered the more galling, in the present instance, from the irritable jealousy of the old governor, that took fire on the least question of authority and jurisdiction; and from the loose vagrant character of the people who had gradually nestled themselves within the fortress, as in a sanctuary, and thence carried on a system of roguery and depredation at the expense of the honest inhabitants of the city.
GL El viraba máis punxente o asunto, no presente caso, polo anoxado celo do vello gobernador, que botaba lume co menor conflicto de autoridade ou de xurisdicción, e pola traza inqueda e moinante da xente que, a modiño, fora aniñando dentro da fortaleza, coma nun acubillo privilexiado, e dende alí proseguía coas súas artes de pillería e depredación á conta dos habitantes honrados da vila.
