I have wondered a thousand times to hear people say, 'I don't like this business, or 'I wish I could exchange it for that; for with me, when I have had anything to do, I do not remember ever to have demurred, but have always set about it like a fatalist, and it was as sure to be done as the sun was to set."
"Italy began as a coquette. She will end" he made the gesture of counting money into his hand "she will end as a cocotte." He waved a forefinger in front of his face. "Elle n'est plus vierge!" he said. The wife demurred. Italy was poor and little, she must needs coquette. After all, il faut vivre one must live.
"It's the chief of the hairy tribe," said Phonograph Davis. "But it's stone dead, now, boys." "Don't you believe it," demurred Dry-Creek. "It's only 'possumin'. It's the dreaded Highgollacum fantod from the forest. There's only one way to destroy its life." He led forward Old Taller, the 240-pound cow-puncher.
"And I think so now," said Godfrey. "Surely you know you can trust me." I demurred a while longer, but finally told him the whole story. When I had ended, he gave a little low whistle of amazement. "Well," he said, "that's what I call clever. There's a certain artistic touch about it only one man " He fell silent again, absently gnawing his under lip. "How long are you going to stay here?"
The young officer proposed to dip me in the well and wring me well out, but I demurred, mainly on the ground that some time would be so consumed, and that my horse was waiting on the other side. He at once said that he would send for it, and called "Pat," a civilian servant, in military blue, who was nursing a negro baby with an eye, it seemed, to obtain favor with the mother.
Alice Robinson came to spend the night with Rebecca, and when the bedroom door closed upon the two girls, Alice announced her intention of "doing up" Rebecca's front hair in leads and rags, and braiding the back in six tight, wetted braids. Rebecca demurred. Alice persisted. "Your hair is so long and thick and dark and straight," she said, "that you'll look like an Injun!"
He said but little, but the great muscles of his face worked in passion and in agony at recollection of the horrors which had been heaped upon the only thing he had ever loved in all his cold, cruel, terrible existence. He no longer demurred when I suggested that we go before Tal Hajus, only saying that he would like to speak to Sarkoja first.
I demurred at first, for I had no mind to be publicly embraced by the tatterdemalion patriots I had seen in the crowd that morning. But when my visitor incidentally mentioned the fact that Miss Rossano would accompany her father, I gave him my promise at once.
The Cortes, similar to our houses of parliament, could enact laws, impose taxes, and redress grievances, often making the condition of granting pecuniary aid to the Sovereign, his consent to the regulations they had laid down, and refusing the grant if he demurred.
My employer was a thoroughly upright and noble man, and I was much attached to him. I do not know that he ever refused or demurred when I made my request. The annoyance was simply in the process of asking; and this became so great, that I often underwent serious inconvenience rather than do it.
