The great room had grown cold and the fire burned low.
And only very gradually did the room grow cold again.
There was laughter at her words, and then the room grew rather quiet.
The room had grown dark and cool with the setting of the sun.
The room was growing very dark, yet Breeze did not like to put on the light.

It suddenly seemed to her that the room had grown smaller.
The room was cold now, and growing colder by the minute.
As people's eyes turned toward him, the room quickly grew quiet.
