The trail seemed to lead through a small snowdrift on the ice.

But the trail to the others seemed to grow cold, and scholars had lost interest in the quest.

But now my trail seems to have disappeared, and I've been away for a while.

The trail seemed to lead down into the valley.

I thought the trail seemed to peter out, but not for the dapple.

However, just when the trail seems to be going cold, a dramatic breakthrough occurs.
