puntual

EN I am not punctual myself, I know, but I do like punctuality in others, and waiting, even to be married, is quite out of the question.
GL Sei que non son moi puntual, pero gústame a puntualidade nos demais, e por iso é imposible que eu poida esperar, aínda que sexa para casar.

EN His prayer, addressed neither to God nor saint, began with a shiver, as the chilly morning breeze crept through the chink of the carriage door to his feet, and ended in a trail of foolish words which he made to fit the insistent rhythm of the train; and silently, at intervals of four seconds, the telegraph-poles held the galloping notes of the music between punctual bars.
GL A súa pregaria, que non ía dirixida a Deus nin a ningún santo, comezaba cun calafrío do aire que penetraba pola rañura da porta e chegaba aos seus pés, e remataba cunha ladaíña de palabras parvas que Stephen fixera rimar co ritmo insistente do tren; e caladamente, en intervalos de catro segundos, os postes de telégrafo sostiñan as notas galopantes da música entre compases exactos.
