When not rummaging under bushes, Mr. Sculley can often be seen skulking in the woods or prowling along the shore. He was forced to creep and skulk into every place for fear of being taken and hanged. He skulked back from the shop with his purchase, hugging the walls, looking at no one, all the more panicky because he knew no other way home. Skulk is from Middle English skulken, ultimately of Scandinavian origin. | |||||||||
