He passed an entranceway where a figure lurked.

A figure was lurking in that gloom.

A few solitary figures lurked amongst the rubble of service buildings; otherwise the place seemed to be deserted.

The waiting figure had lurked until the precise instant when total blackness came.

Thus he had failed to see the one spot where a figure lurked.

A third figure lurked behind the pair.

An ominous figure lurks in the background of several of the works, his head a dark smudge.

Instead, he moves his head slowly around to view the pair of spruces where the figure might lurk.

Phule turned and peered into the shadows, where a slim figure in civilian clothes lurked.

The beam of moonlight fell across the stair just as he had dreamed it did; but no figure lurked there.
