Cardinal Monti received him cordially, heard his complaint and, after demurring slightly, accepted his offer to lead the soldiers against the redoubtable brigands, agreeing to place two hundred of the Swiss Guard properly officered and equipped at the disposal of himself and Captain Morrel. It was decided that the expedition should start from the Castle of St.
But, in my soul, I know that both these are hollow pretenses to lighten the weight on my conscience. "But," say I, with discontented demurring, "you have been away often before! how did Tempest get on then?" He laughs.
After some demurring on the part of Orcutt, he called a stenographer and drew a contract, which he duly signed and handed to Wentworth, who thrust it into his pocket with the packet of papers.

"Impossible!" she said, her cheek flaming. "I'll go and talk to Wilson; he'll manage it," said Ashe, getting up. Kitty pursued him, arguing incessantly. He lounged along, turning every now and then to look at her, smiling and demurring, his hat on the back of his head. "You see the difference," said Mrs. Alcot, in Darrell's ear. "Last year Kitty would have got her way. This year she won't."
So on a day the Puritan pastor, somewhat demurring because he was a foreigner, yet withal not loath to ride a tilt with the enemy, confronted Episcopus, the Arminian professor; and it is reported by the Calvinists that his overwhelming arguments utterly nonplussed and put the great Episcopus to rout. Oh, those theological debates! About the paltry affairs of this world it was not right to quarrel.
"I don't know," said Doris, coolly. "I think I did sometimes. The question is how long it will last." She looked, smiling, at her interrogator. The gentleman with the whiskers stooped across the table. "Oh, nothing lasts in this world. But that of course is what makes a good time so good." Doris turned towards him demurring for the sake of conversation.
