Back in those days we were only playing to very small crowds.

Only a small crowd was on hand to see him off.

I do not mean that it was a small crowd.

Several more people followed, until there was a small crowd.

That probably had something to do with the small crowd.

With a small crowd around me, I asked people what they thought of the government.

And now the first of the small crowd had reached the car.

He was among a small crowd of people who came running after the boy fell.

By this time, I had a small crowd at my table, a group of friends who walk here together.

There was a lot of sound from such a small crowd.
