Translations for intimate in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:

"It was naturally my intention that he should succeed me in my business, but he was not of a business turn. He was wild, wayward, and, to speak the truth, I could not trust him in the handling of large sums of money. When he was young he became a member of an aristocratic club, and there, having charming manners, he was soon the intimate of a number of men with long purses and expensive habits. He learned to play heavily at cards and to squander money on the turf, until he had again and again to come to me and implore me to give him an advance upon his allowance, that he might settle his debts of honor. He tried more than once to break away from the dangerous company which he was keeping, but each time the influence of his friend Sir George Burnwell was enough to draw him back again.

Je désirais naturellement qu’il me succédât à la Banque, mais il n’avait pas l’esprit tourné aux affaires. Il était violent, entêté, et pour dire la vérité, je ne pouvais lui confier de grosses sommes d’argent. Il devint membre d’un cercle aristocratique, où, grâce à ses charmantes manières, il se fit l’ami intime d’une quantité de jeunes gens ayant de grosses fortunes et des habitudes dispendieuses. Il se mit à jouer gros jeu, et à parier aux courses, si bien qu’il dut souvent avoir recours à moi pour payer des dettes d’honneur. Il essaya plusieurs fois de quitter cette dangereuse compagnie, mais chaque fois l’influence de son ami, sir George Burnwell l’y ramena.

"And you were deceived, my dear sir," replied Aramis, coldly, very little sensible to the reparation. Then turning toward that one of the guards who had declared himself the friend of Bois-Tracy, "Besides," continued he, "I have reflected, my dear intimate of Bois-Tracy, that I am not less tenderly his friend than you can possibly be; so that decidedly this handkerchief is as likely to have fallen from your pocket as mine."

— Et vous vous êtes trompé, mon cher monsieur, répondit froidement Aramis, peu sensible à la réparation ; puis, se retournant vers celui des gardes qui s’était déclaré l’ami de Bois-Tracy : — D’ailleurs, continua-t-il, je réfléchis, mon cher intime de Bois-Tracy, que je suis son ami non moins tendre que tu peux l’être toi-même, de sorte qu’à la rigueur, ce mouchoir peut aussi bien être sorti de ta poche que de la mienne.

Les Trois Mousquetaires, de Alexandre Dumas

“There were several gentlemen who knew my sad history and united to help me. One was Mr. Stapleton, a neighbour and intimate friend of Sir Charles. He was exceedingly kind, and it was through him that Sir Charles learned about my affairs.”	« Plusieurs personnes connaissant mon dénuement s’étaient associées pour me secourir. L’une d’elles était M. Stapleton, voisin et ami intime de sir Charles Baskerville. Excessivement bon, il consentit à parler de moi à sir Charles. »
