choleric
adjective
irascible, · irascíbel
EN He had, in fact, been a favorite steed of his master's, the choleric Van Ripper, who was a furious rider, and had infused, very probably, some of his own spirit into the animal; for, old and broken-down as he looked, there was more of the lurking devil in him than in any young filly in the country.
GL De feito, fora o corcel favorito do seu amo, o irascible Van Ripper, que era un intrépido xinete e que seguramente lle traspasara parte do seu espírito ó animal, xa que, aínda vello e escangallado coma estaba, tiña máis furia ca calquera poldra nova da comarca.
