[...] Undoubtedly Ruburt could receive better clauses if he pressed for them. [...]

He could indeed press for better clauses now, but in one way he would lose a certain advantage. [...]

[...] Because this contract is less than Ruburt could press for, the next contract will be a much better one, since the publisher will then feel rather embarrassed concerning this contract.

(I didn’t really understand her answer to my question, but she didn’t seem up to me pressing the point, so I let it go. [...]

(4:35 — I pressed the button for aide. [...]

2. As far as possible, without pressing the point, make an effort to do what he would do if he were physically satisfactory. [...]

[...] On the 14th we received from Prentice-Hall our complimentary copies, just off the press, of Seth’s Psyche; then on the 18th we received Volume 2 of “Unknown” Reality.

[...] Since we are trying something new I do not know how far we shall proceed this evening, for I do not press for quick, but press for thorough and safe progress. [...]

[...] I will in no way press for Ruburt to go further than is beneficial for him.
