footstep

For three years I had been listening to the voice of Hope, and for three years I had waited for a footstep on my threshold.

You can hear every footstep, which detracts from the experience exponentially.

Soon, however, another footstep became audible on the stairs below, and this time Sarah heard it distinctly.

She tried to see her way through; she was thinking it out when the sound of a footstep behind caused her to look round.

One step away he made, then his foot halted, as the whispering sound of a quick footstep came from behind through the bush.

Away they went, with Gyp at their heels, and every footstep resounded through the old house until they reached the upper floor.

There was a slow, heavy footstep upon the stairs, and in a moment Seth had hidden the letter.
