"There's no telling that- no one can say that," put in Deerslayer; "a hound is not more sartain on the scent than a red-skin, when he expects to get anything by it.
– Je n’en sais trop rien, dit Deerslayer, c’est ce que personne ne saurait dire. Un chien n’est pas plus sûr de la piste qu’une Peau Rouge qui s’attend à y gagner quelque chose.

One large hound, a magnificent creature, finding himself too far away from the quarry, stepped back and then sprang into the very middle of the pack.
Un gros braque, une bête superbe, fâché d'être trop au bord, recula et s'élança d'un bond au milieu de la bande.

There's Tamenund, now, though a man so old that few remember when he was in his prime, Tamenund lets nothing escape his look, which is more like the scent of a hound than the sight of an eye.
Il y a Tamenund, par exemple, quoiqu’il soit si vieux que peu de gens peuvent se souvenir de l’avoir vu jeune ; rien ne peut échapper à ses regards, qui ressemblent plutôt à l’odorat d’un chien qu’à la vue d’un homme.

"By such an accident, Mabel, as Providence employs to tell the hound where to find the deer and the deer how to throw off the hound.
– Un de ces accidents, Mabel, que la Providence emploie pour avertir la meute que le daim n’est pas éloigné, et pour apprendre au daim à dépister la meute.

Little was said, but each man ran about, examining the dead leaves as the hound hunts for the lost scent.
Ils parlaient peu ; mais ils couraient çà et là, examinant les feuilles mortes qui couvraient la terre, comme un chien cherche à retrouver la piste qu’il a perdue.

"That's it, Judith; you've got the idees, but they're a little out of their places, as if a hound should take the back'ard instead of the leading scent.
– C’est cela, Judith ; l’idée est bonne, mais elle est un peu hors de place : c’est comme si un chien voulait suivre sa piste à rebours.

It was then Guillaume and Pierre saw him pass, unrecognisable and frightful, taking to the muddy water of the rivulet like a stag which seeks to set a last obstacle between itself and the hounds.
Ce fut alors que Guillaume et Pierre le virent passer, méconnaissable, effrayant, se jetant à l’eau boueuse du ruisseau, telle que la bête qui met un dernier rempart entre elle et les chiens.

One day, said one of the guests, the stag had run into a farmyard, and had then turned and charged the hounds so suddenly that a lady had her leg broken amidst the confusion.
Un jour, le cerf, réfugié dans la cour d'une ferme, s'était retourné si terriblement contre les chiens, qu'une dame avait eu une jambe cassée, au milieu de la bagarre.

Still the guns went on, like hounds baying before a quarry.
Les canons continuaient à gronder, telle une meute aux abois devant une proie.

I wasn't able to follow, but all the same I saw some extraordinary things--a great wall which the whole hunt had to leap, and then ditches and hedges--a mad race indeed in the rear of the hounds.
Je n’ai pas pu suivre, mais j’ai vu tout de même, oh ! des choses extraordinaires, un grand mur que toute la chasse a dû sauter, puis des fossés, des haies, une course folle derrière les chiens...

It was Salvat whom they had seen rushing through the wood like a wild boar forced by the hounds.
C’était Salvat qu’ils avaient vu galoper par le Bois comme un sanglier que force une meute !
