2 This could not be denied, and Fanny was silenced.
3 After an interval of silence, "I think they might as well have staid for me," said he.
4 "They will be angry," he added, after a moment's silence, and in a cooler tone; "Mrs. Rushworth will be very angry."
5 She saw decision in his looks, and her surprise and vexation required some minutes' silence to be settled into composure.
6 The servant of Mrs. Rushworth, the mother, had exposure in her power, and supported by her mistress, was not to be silenced.
7 She was disheartened by Lady Bertram's silence, awed by Sir Thomas's grave looks, and quite overcome by Mrs. Norris's admonitions.
8 The chapel was soon afterwards left to the silence and stillness which reigned in it, with few interruptions, throughout the year.
9 It did not suit his sense of propriety, and he was silenced, till induced by further smiles and liveliness to put the matter by for the present.
10 Miss Crawford was silenced, and with some feelings of resentment and mortification, moved her chair considerably nearer the tea-table, and gave all her attention to Mrs. Norris, who was presiding there.
11 She either sat in gloomy silence, wrapt in such gravity as nothing could subdue, no curiosity touch, no wit amuse; or allowing the attentions of Mr. Yates, was talking with forced gaiety to him alone, and ridiculing the acting of the others.
