Another silence came, and she felt as if he were making some kind of decision.

As if from far away, I heard my own voice die, and silence come back.

Silence for a minute, then she came back on line.

When silence does come, it means there is a problem.

Then came a silence: nobody seemed to have anything to say.

A heavy silence came, a weight was gone from the air.

Silence came only in the deep watches of the night.

A moment's silence and then they were coming back downstairs.

This was difficult, because silence in company did not come naturally to her.

Then silence came suddenly on them and they all turned to see the king come in with the dragon.
