quiet voiceless

after bedchamber circumstance course delay lag midst moment pause period room second time timing while

horrified stop

oyster shush still swallow

quietude serenity stillness

silent

clear subside

calm shroud sound

inarticulate silently wordlessly wordless

blankly dumbly impassively just merely quietly say simply sit

quell shut squelch

grim sullen taciturn

clam speechless
