The elevator was rising from the street level at a fast pace.

The elevator rose smoothly past floor after floor, coming to rest at last.

The elevator rose slowly, opening at last into a small rectangular space.

Now, as the elevator rose smoothly, he realized what it had been reserved for.

The elevator rises for a few seconds before coming to its first stop.

The elevator rises slowly after we press for the fourth floor.

The elevator rose smoothly to the second floor and the doors eased open.

The elevator silently rose to floor seven and opened.

The doors shut and the elevator rose rapidly, leaving them behind on the ground.

He was still standing there gawking when the door closed and the elevator rose without him.
