In the denial of favors, – let the denial give as
little pain as possible to the person who is applies.
Even though the request should appear ill-timed &
unreasonable there is no motive for showing that
is any disinclination on your part to oblige or
serve him. Should it seem necessary to convince him
that the request is unreasonable. – do so suaviter
in modo, – by the fortiter in modo, you may
humble, or irritate him, – or both, you may make
him unhappyier without need or use, – you may
even make him your enemy – And what advantage can
you obtain from his suffering – what good from
his enmity?

In the case of otherwise unmanageable
importunity – that is, if gentleness & kind expression
have failed to rid you of the suppliant's presence –
have recourse to theis punitory method.
