Further the matter

Hi

Is the phrase "further the matter" natural to native ears?

She does not want to further the matter at all.
Let's not further it any more. I am sorry for every thing.

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks, Blue Jay.

Are they natural now?

She does not want to take this matter any further now.
Let's not drag this/dwell over it any more. I am sorry for every thing.

She does not want to take this matter any further (now). Yes, that's fine.
Let's not drag this out any more.
Let's not dwell on it any more.
