"When I knew you first your speculation would have been more active, my dear. You would have looked into the possibility and disputed it. What has become of your modernity?" It was the tenderest malice, but it obtained no concessive sign. Alicia seemed to weigh it. "I think I like theories better than illustrations," she said in defence.
I fix the hours, and I fix the wages, and I fix all the other conditions, and I say plainly, 'If you don't like them, 'don't come, or 'don't stay, and I never have any difficulty." "I'm sure," said Mrs. Munger, "that if all the employers in the country would take such a stand, there would soon be an end of labour troubles. I think we're too concessive." "And I do too, Mrs. Munger!" cried Mrs.
In nearly all instances, but more particularly among the nations that are accounted characteristically modern, the existing establishments have been greatly altered from the mediaeval pattern, by concessive adaptation to later exigencies or by a more or less revolutionary innovation.
The reference to Diana, with the father's rationalization of his love for Mathilda, is in S-R fr but not in F of F A. In F of F A this is followed by a series of other gloomy concessive clauses which have been scored out to the advantage of the text. This paragraph about the Steward is added in Mathilda. In F of F A he is called a servant and his name is Harry. See note 29.
Marvin one year ago, when he had that trouble in his shoe shop. I said, 'You're too concessive. I said, 'Mr. Marvin, if you give those fellows an inch, they'll take an ell. Mr. Marvin, said I, 'you've got to begin by being your own master, if you want to be master of anybody else.

Cat. 3, 16 tam diu, dum urbis moenibus continebatur; Off. 1, 2 tam diu ... quoad ... MENTE ... RATIONE ... COGITATIONE: 'by thought, by reasoning, by imagination'. Cogitatio like διανοια has often the sense of 'imagination'. The close juxtaposition of words nearly synonymous is quite characteristic of Cicero's Latin. QUIDEM: concessive, as in 32 and often.

Lucretius 3, 1042 oddly has decurso lumine vitae. Lael. 101; Tusc. 1, 15 nunc video calcem ad quam cum sit decursum, nihil sit praeterea extimescendum. HABEAT: concessive. A. 266, c; G. 257; H. 484, 3. MULTI ET EI DOCTI: as Nägelsbach, Stilistik § 25, 5, remarks, Cic. always uses this phrase and not multi docti.
