Translations for member 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.

“You make too much of it, Dr. Watson,” said she. “My brother and I were very much shocked by the death of Sir Charles. We knew him very intimately, for his favourite walk was over the moor to our house. He was deeply impressed with the curse which hung over the family, and when this tragedy came I naturally felt that there must be some grounds for the fears which he had expressed. I was distressed, therefore, when another member of the family came down to live here, and I felt that he should be warned of the danger which he will run. That was all which I intended to convey.”

« Vous prêtez à mes paroles plus d’importance qu’elles n’en comportent. La mort de sir Charles nous a très vivement impressionnés, mon frère et moi. Nous étions très liés… Sa promenade favorite consistait à se rendre chez nous par la lande. Cette espèce de sort qui pesait sur sa famille hantait son cerveau, et, lorsque se produisit le tragique événement, je crus ses craintes fondées jusqu’à un certain point. Quand on annonça qu’un nouveau membre de la famille Baskerville allait habiter le château, mes appréhensions se réveillèrent et j’ai pensé bien faire en le prévenant du danger qu’il courait. Voilà le mobile auquel j’ai obéi.

"Lord John Roxton's reputation as a sportsman and a traveller is, of course, world-famous," said the chairman; "at the same time it would certainly be as well to have a member of the Press upon such an expedition."	— Il est vrai, dit le président, que lord John Roxton possède, comme chasseur et comme voyageur, une réputation mondiale ; mais, d’autre part, il conviendrait d’associer à une pareille expédition un membre de la presse.
