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

(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. [...]

[...] 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. [...]
