Its usage here is entirely appropriate. Given the context, it seems clear that it is their meeting (i.e., the act of coming together) which the Rat-man is describing as a diabolical concourse.<BR/><BR/>Can a meeting be covert? Can a scheme be nefarious? If so, then why can't a concourse be diabolical? As the originaljes points out above, there's no reason that "diabolical" can't modify "concourse" (in the sense of a meeting/coming together) if said concourse is somehow diabolical in nature or intent.<BR/><BR/>PvP has a fairly typical share of usage errors, but this isn't one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989649127373312714.post-53724892725802081602008-08-28T14:19:00.000-07:002008-08-28T14:19:00.000-07:00No that was before I saw that he said I had been b...No that was before I saw that he said I had been banned and tried to get on.
