He stayed still a few more moments, listening for any hint of activity.

He waited for a moment, listening, then went down the stairs silently.

He paused for a moment, listening, then started up that great stairway.

Dalamar stopped, standing a long moment listening to the night.

Here he paused a moment listening to the voices which came from the dining room.

He stood for a moment listening to her feet going down the stairs.

He stood for a moment, listening, then moved softly down the passage.

They stood for long moments listening, but nothing further happened.

He stood for a moment listening to her standing still on the other side of the door, then heard her footsteps moving slowly away.
