Examples from texts

They were to keep their horses by the rocks, and supply them with the mule-bucket, so as to make no fresh tracks at the water.
Ils avaient pour instructions de tenir leurs chevaux au milieu des rochers et de leur porter à boire avec un seau, de manière à ne pas faire d'empreintes fraîches auprès de l'eau.

We were relieved at length from all doubts by the arrival of some early market men, who had met such a man as our guide far up the river, and riding a mule at full gallop.

It even happened the other day in the wood that a whole section mistook for the hoarse howl of a shell the first notes of a neighboring mule as he began his whinnying bray.
Il est bien advenu à toute une section, l’autre jour, dans le bois, de prendre, un instant, pour le bruissement rauque d’une arrivée les premiers accents de la voix d’un mulet qui, non loin, se mettait à pousser son braiment-hennissement.

Another mule was sacrificed to the manes of hunger; and the hunters, after devouring the tough steaks, flung themselves upon the ground and slept.
Une mule fut encore sacrifiée à la divinité de la faim, et les chasseurs, Après s'être repus de cette viande coriace, s'étendirent sur le sol et s'endormirent.

She has a good sterling heart and the very brains of a mule, in such wise that whenever she is determined on anything I always have to do it in the end.
Elle a un cœur de brave créature, avec une vraie tête de mule, à ce point que, lorsqu’elle a résolu une chose, je finis toujours par être obligé de la faire...

Before dinner I had invested nearly all my disposable funds in printed calicoes, long knives, and looking-glasses, leaving just money enough to purchase mule-waggons and hire teamsters at Independence, our point of departure for the plains.
Avant l'heure du dîner, j'avais converti mes fonds en calicots, couteaux longs et miroirs, conservant juste assez d'argent pour acheter des mules, des wagons, et engager des voituriers à Indépendance, notre point de départ pour les prairies.

I can only account for the fellow's preference for the mule on the score of downright honesty, or the most perverse stupidity.
Je ne puis m'expliquer la préférence de cette canaille qu'en l'attribuant à quelques scrupules d'un vieux reste d'honnêteté, ou à la stupidité la plus complète.
