Por outro lado Malvina, sabedora de sua paixão e de seos sinistros intentos sobre a captiva, justamente irritada,
On the other hand Malvina, aware of his passion and of his sinister designs upon the captive, justly angered,
The third strand, and the most dangerous to him: his wife. Malvina is 'sabedora,' fully aware, of his 'paixão' and 'sinistros intentos,' his passion and dark designs on Isaura — she has seen the truth since the scandal of Cap. V. And her anger is 'justamente,' justly, righteously so. The narrator is careful to validate her fury; she is not a jealous shrew but a wronged wife with every right to be enraged.
