Examples from texts

Your own people will not own you, and no tribe of redmen would have you in their wigwams; you skulk among petticoated warriors.
Votre peuple vous désavoue, et nulle tribu d’hommes rouges ne voudrait vous avoir dans ses wigwams ; vous vous cachez dans les rangs de guerriers en jupons.

As I'm a wicked sinner, there is one of them prowling along the bank this very moment, like one of the boys of the garrison skulking behind a fallen tree to get a shot at a squirrel!"
– Comme je suis un pécheur, en voici un qui rôde là-bas le long du rivage comme un des enfants de la garnison qui se cache derrière un arbre tombé pour tirer sur un écureuil.

Two have been cut off by this pale-face; my Hurons wish to see if he did this by means of a stout heart, or by treachery. Like a skulking fox, or like a leaping panther."
Deux ont été coupés par cette Face-Pâle, et mes guerriers veulent voir s’il l’a fait avec bravoure, ou par trahison comme le renard cauteleux ou la perfide panthère.

The lonely owl flaps away into the impassable thicket, the rattlesnake glides under its scanty shade, and the coyote skulks through its silent glades.
Le hibou solitaire s'enfonce dans des fourrés impénétrables, le serpent à sonnettes se glisse sous leur ombre épaisse, et le coyote traverse en rampant les clairières.

Sandy had started forward at the sound of it, and I followed him. It would never do for me to be caught skulking in the bushes.
Au son de cette voix, Sandy se jeta vers l’auto et je le suivis, car il ne fallait pas qu’on me trouvât en train de me cacher parmi les bosquets.

"Why, you skulking little devil, you," they would say, "get up and do something for your living, can't you?" - not knowing, of course, that I was ill.
« Quand vas-tu te secouer, satané petit fainéant ? Aurais-tu l’intention de rester un bon à rien toute ta vie ? » me disait-on, sans savoir, bien entendu, que j’étais malade.

He loves the skulking vagabonds as little as myself; and, for that matter, I may say that my own feelings towards a Mingo are not much more than the gifts of a Delaware grafted on a Christian stock.
Il n’aime pas plus que moi ces vagabonds ; et quant à moi, je puis dire que mes sentiments pour les Mingos sont ceux de la nature d’un Delaware greffée sur un sauvageon chrétien.

That Iroquois will never harm any one more; but yonder skulking savage is bent on taking the scalp of my best and most tried friend."

"The skulking reptyle brought it on himself," muttered Pathfinder sternly, as, dropping the butt of his rifle, he carefully commenced reloading it.
– Le reptile se l’est attiré lui-même, – dit Pathfinder, appuyant par terre la crosse de sa carabine, et commençant à la recharger avec grand soin.

The general width of the river being a little less than two hundred yards, such necessarily was about the distance between his two observers and the skulking Iroquois.
Chingachgook, l’Iroquois et les deux blancs formaient alors à peu près les trois angles d’un triangle équilatéral dont chaque côté pouvait avoir un peu moins de cent toises.
