Silence followed his words and he looked from one to the other of them.

He turned and walked away, without once looking back to see if Silence was following.

I knew he was up there but only silence followed.

A brief silence followed the words someone had finally said.

A deep silence followed the sound of its sharp report.

A long silence followed, during which those inside wondered what they should do next.

Silence followed as they rode up one road and down another.

Silence followed, as we bent our mind to the problem.

When the soldier had been taken from the room a long silence followed.

A silence follows that must have continued for a good three and a half minutes.
