In gracious tones he added: "But this is not all: I must have a prolongation of the armistice. How can we between July 5th and 20th end a negotiation which ought to embrace the whole world?" He proposed August 20th as the date of its expiration. To this Metternich demurred because the allies already thought the armistice too long for their interests.
Nothing would do then but he must stay in Holland. Linnæus demurred; he could not afford it. But Dr. Boerhaave knew a way out of that. He had for a patient Burgomaster Cliffort, a rich old hypochondriac with whom he could do nothing because he would insist on living high and taking too little exercise.
On consulting the carpenter, however, he insisted that the tree could be cut off at the lower end to suit the height of the parlor, and demurred at so great a change as altering the ceiling. But Mr. Peterkin had set his mind upon the improvement, and Elizabeth Eliza had cut her carpet in preparation for it.
Carbon is the same thing, whether you call it wood, or coal, or bread and cheese. A reverend gentleman demurred to this statement, as if, because combustion is asserted to be the sine qua non of thought, therefore thought is alleged to be a purely chemical process.

Pierre had rejoined his brothers; and, as the hunting season drew near, they all begged the missionary to make one of their party, not, as he thought, out of any love for him, but solely with a view to the provisions with which they doubted not he would be well supplied. Le Jeune, distrustful of the sorcerer, demurred, but at length resolved to go.
"My, how lovely!" exclaimed Grace. "Yes, if we could only enjoy it," demurred Madaline. "Grace! What's that? Over under that thick tree!" "A man! Let's run!" "And there is a big bag beside him," whispered Grace. "See the things sticking out of it!" "No, I don't want to see anything. Run, I tell you!" "Wait! Maybe I could make this my bravery act. Suppose I tie him with my strong rope?"
He demurred, but in the end she had her way; for he was exceedingly weary, and she saw it. So he let her spread the old coat down for him while he gathered some wood for a fire, and then he lay down and watched her simple preparations for the meal. Before he knew it he was asleep. When he came to himself, there was a curious blending of dream and reality.
I never believe it all. My mind isn't big enough." They went into no society at Paris, and at the end of a week were all glad to leave it. "I don't know that Baden will be any better," Lady Glencora said; "but, you know, we can leave that again after a bit, and so we shall go on getting nearer to the Kurds." To this, Mr Palliser demurred.
