They fled in terror and disapperad (in the house)
They fled in terror ...
They fled in terror and disappeared (in the house)
They fled in terror trying to hide in the corners
In this sentence “corners” are not the point. The point of this sentence is in the following: all of them are terrified and they are trying to run and hide wherever they can. I am not sure who are They, and What they are afraid of, but you can certainly add locations of the house into the sentence if you wish to be close to the original.

: Completely. Moreover, if I were the translator this children's book, I simply used you explanation after the colon. It is esy to catch, hence, dynamic.
