He cautioned him, “Keep your voice down. Let’s listen to what Matthew has to say first.”
Hearing this, Neville grunted and reclined on the chair.

Matthew pursed his lips and seemed to be thinking about it.

Neville and Cordell exchanged confused looks.
The room was deadly silent. Not a sound could be heard.
Matthew looked awful. He downed another glass within a second.
He had used his time on the road to think.
