The sound rang through the room and immediately all conversation died away.

For a moment the conversation died down and I heard other things.

Then the conversation died away and they got to their work.

Rather than let the conversation die, I said the first thing that came into my mind.

The conversation went on for some time, then died away.

The conversation died and neither man moved for a very long time.

The conversation died and there was a long, boring hour of nothing.

After a time Kevin came forward to play, and the conversation died.

Every other conversation had died as the old man spoke to me.

Then the conversation died and we had to get out of there.
