Think of the lion, the wolf, the fox, the vulture, the kite; and, indeed, would you condescend to suggest how they could do otherwise.

His life is a hard one; but he is full of strange stories, and when treated with proper respect may condescend to tell some of them.
У лоцмана нелегкая жизнь, зато он знает много занимательных историй и, коли с ним обращаются уважительно, может поделиться некоторыми из них.

"That's to say you won't condescend to; no need to, my dear fellow, I know the nature of your idea as it is; in any case it implies: Into the wilderness I flee.
- То есть не удостоишь открыть. Не надо, мой друг, я и так знаю сущность твоей идеи; во всяком случае, это: Я в пустыню удаляюсь...

When, turning to the Campaigner, Clive said he wished that she could persuade me to stay to dinner, she acquiesced graciously and at once in that proposal, and vowed that her daughter would be delighted if I could condescend to eat their humble fare.
Когда Клайв обратился к полковой даме с просьбой убедить меня остаться у них обедать, она тотчас же любезно поддержала его, уверяя, что ее дочка будет просто счастлива, если я соизволю разделить с ними их скромную трапезу.

Then, Emil, since you persist in your blindness, perhaps you would condescend to loan me your rose pearl.

"I'll try to remember," I said, smiling faintly, trying not to condescend.
– Запомню, – кивнул я и улыбнулся, в то же время стараясь сохранить подобающее достоинство.

Aglaya had simply frightened him; yet he did not give up all thoughts of her--though he never seriously hoped that she would condescend to him.
Аглаи он просто тогда испугался, но не бросил с нею дела, а тянул его, на всякий случай, хотя никогда не верил серьезно, что она снизойдет до него.
