When he found himself unable to eat at luncheon, she allowed that he was not fit for the meeting, but demurred when he declared that he should go home at once that afternoon to let Mary nurse his cold.

Hodge knew Serjeant Gaythorn, and knew that the poor man's wife had been shot dead in the flight from Naseby; but he demurred at the notion of encumbering himself with the child when he went into the town.

"We figured you'd stay till after the round-up, anyhow," said Bailey. "Reckon it's too tame for Pete here," growled Andy. "That's no fault of yours, Andrew," observed Ma Bailey.
"Our host seems a bit abstracted to-night," said her table companion after a long discussion about what Stafford had done and what he still might do.

"But I imagine he has been prepared for the war for some time.
The promise was readily given by Mrs. Middleton, but her husband demurred, saying, "I shan’t commit myself until I know what ’tis. If Dr. Lacey has been cuttin’ up, why I’ll cowhide him, that’s all." "Then I shall not tell you," was Fanny’s firm reply. Her father saw she was in earnest, and replied, "What’s got your back up so high, Sunshine? I never knew you had so much grit.
After all, there was a hero rising out of the ruins of the anti-climax. The look on Givens's face would have secured him a high position in the S.P.C.A. "I always loved 'em," said he; "horses, dogs, Mexican lions, cows, alligators " "I hate alligators," instantly demurred Josefa; "crawly, muddy things!" "Did I say alligators?" said Givens. "I meant antelopes, of course."
Hiram Wade still demurred a little longer for the sake of his own self-respect and his dishonoured hairs, but in the end it was agreed that if the money was paid over to him in full before the end of the following week he would be content and would agree to the compromise.
In 1572 the Portuguese presumed to ask for the whole town of Nagasaki, as a gift to their church, with power of jurisdiction over the same; threatening, in case of refusal, to establish themselves elsewhere. The daimyo, Omura, at first demurred, but eventually yielded; and Nagasaki then became Christian territory, directly governed by the Church.
