That is now my unalterable will. If this decision grieves you, be humble and submissive; and remember that it is your duty, as son and subject, to obey without demurring. Then shall we be good friends, and greet one another heartily, as though you had at this moment returned from the victorious battle-field. There is my hand. Be welcome, my dear and much-beloved child."
"You bet," chorussed the others. "They've garrisoned the mines, so let's go through the town and make a clean job of it. Let's hang the whole outfit to one post." This met with general approval, Glenister alone demurring. Said he: "I have reasoned it out differently, and I want you to hear me through before deciding. Last night I got word from Wheaton that the California courts are against us.
He set her down now, and seemed to be demurring about her horse. I heard her laugh, how well I knew that laugh! though I had already swung myself into the saddle and edged a little away. "It is not the first time I have had to ride thus. Look you, Maurice, it goes well enough, does it not?" she said, riding towards me. I had to look round at that.
Grose had preceded them, and had let down a well-rope, which was of sufficient length to reach the soldier and capable of sustaining him for a time. Both Captain McRae and Captain Holmes volunteered to go down, but as the former was a light-weight it was decided that he should make the trial, Captain Holmes demurring, as he wished to undertake the risk himself.
The old man glanced at her again, as if demurring. "You're sure, miss, it's life and death?" he said. "Oh, why should I say so if it were not?" she cried. "The orders are very strict," he said. "But the President told me to give precedence to cases when a life is in question. Just you wait a minute, miss, until Governor Doddridge comes out, and I'll see what I can do for you.
We waited an hour, Will objecting whenever either of us proposed to return and speed Miss Vanderman. "Aw, what's the use? D'you suppose she doesn't know we're waiting?" At last Fred proposed that Will himself go and investigate. He went through the form of demurring, but yielded gracefully. "The spirit," Fred chuckled, "is weak, and the flesh is willing!"

It is very possible that it was not Francois who was wrong in demurring, but you, who are in the wrong in not listening to him." "Wrong? I to be wrong before Francois? that seems rather hard." "Pardon me, merely an irregularity. But I thought it my duty to make an observation which I deem important."
It was no use demurring, so with a plaintive look at Sir Rupert, who, hardly able to repress his laughter, was still standing by, I did as I was bid. "Now," proceeded the chief, "we have not found what we want about your person, Mr. Anstruther; we must look for it among your luggage." He dangled my bunch of keys in his hand as he spoke.
