Hi,
Please forgive me for making consecutive posts today. I have a question about the following sentence.
She and I parted company, mad as we could be with each other.
Could somone tell me why the adjective 'mad' is not placed in its normal position, which is right after 'be'?
It says in my grammar book that the construction of this kind is obligatory when 'as' has meaning of concession. But I don't think that's the intended meaning of the 'as-clause' here. In what sense is 'as' used?

Could somone tell me why the adjective 'mad' is not placed in its normal position, which is right after 'be'? Because putting "mad" after "be" results in a sentence that makes no sense.
The sentence is correct as it. "mad
