Translations for financier in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:

My friend insisted upon my accompanying them in their expedition, which I was eager enough to do, for my curiosity and sympathy were deeply stirred by the story to which we had listened. I confess that the guilt of the banker's son appeared to me to be as obvious as it did to his unhappy father, but still I had such faith in Holmes's judgment that I felt that there must be some grounds for hope as long as he was dissatisfied with the accepted explanation. He hardly spoke a word the whole way out to the southern suburb, but sat with his chin upon his breast and his hat drawn over his eyes, sunk in the deepest thought. Our client appeared to have taken fresh heart at the little glimpse of hope which had been presented to him, and he even broke into a desultory chat with me over his business affairs. A short railway journey and a shorter walk brought us to Fairbank, the modest residence of the great financier.

Mon ami insista pour que je fisse partie de l’expédition, ce que je désirais vivement, car ma curiosité et ma sympathie étaient vivement excitées par l’histoire que nous venions d’entendre. J’avoue que la culpabilité du fils du banquier me paraissait aussi évidente qu’à son pauvre père, mais j’avais tant de confiance dans le jugement de Holmes que je me reprenais à espérer avec lui. Il ne dit pour ainsi dire pas un mot pendant tout le trajet. Il resta plongé dans les plus profondes réflexions, la tête penchée sur la poitrine, le chapeau baissé sur les yeux. Notre client semblait avoir repris un peu courage à la lueur d’espoir qu’on lui avait donnée, et il causa même un peu avec moi de son affaire. Un court trajet en chemin de fer, une promenade à pied plus courte encore, nous amena à Fairbank, la modeste résidence du grand financier.

It was, indeed, our friend the financier. I was shocked by the change which had come over him, for his face, which was naturally of a broad and massive mould, was now pinched and fallen in, while his hair seemed to me at least a shade whiter. He entered with a weariness and lethargy which was even more painful than his violence of the morning before, and he dropped heavily into the arm-chair which I pushed forward for him.

C’était, en effet, notre ami le financier. Je fus frappé du changement qui s’était fait en lui, car son visage, naturellement large et massif, était comme réduit et ratatiné, ses cheveux semblaient même avoir blanchi. Il entra avec une paresse et une léthargie qui étaient encore plus pénibles à voir que sa violence de la veille, et il tomba lourdement dans le fauteuil que je lui avançai.
