offend

In the "Lettres de mon moulin" the writer is still in sympathy with his native land, while in the earliest of the "Tartarin" series, "Tartarin de Tarascon," there is already a spirit of disdainful raillery which Daudet learned in Paris. Tarascon was piqued when "Tartarin de Tarascon" appeared. Indeed, there is more than a little in the book that may well offend local pride.

Alphonse Daudet - Tartarin de Tarascon

Rebelle n'est qui se defend Pour son honneur entregarder Soymesmes courrouce et offend Celle qui ne se scet garder Tant se peut on bien mesgarder Que le chat se prent au fromage Sens est de fouyr son dommage Amours
