It was like following somebody through a maze by listening to his footsteps!
Once a man walked along a street close by and James sat listening to his footsteps until they faded out of hearing.
Sarah listened to his furious footsteps take him to the door.
He listened to her footsteps until the kitchen had swallowed them up.
She listened to his footsteps fade, then let out her breath.
He waited on the steps listening to her footsteps inside.
She listened to his footsteps in the lane, heard them fade.
Just for a little while he remained quite still, listening to her footsteps overhead.
She listened to his footsteps, hard and hurried, down the stairs.
He walked out leaving the door open behind him, and I listened to his footsteps going down the hall.
