His hand dropped to the box, and within seconds, silence again shrouded the halls.

The silence shrouded them.

The women were certainly not eating in silence around their shadow shrouded fire; he could hear them laughing, and the bits of what they said that he picked up made his ears burn.

The silence of gloom is merciful, shrouding one as with protection and breathing a thousand intangible sympathies; but the bright White Silence, clear and cold, under steely skies, is pitiless.

But silence now shrouds the thousand other lunacies of this "Ballo."

Then, once again, I could not see him and a deep silence shrouded my ears.

A tense silence shrouded the room.

An unnerving silence shrouded the subterranean city.
