Translations for morose in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:

And Holmes's fears came to be realized, for from that day to this no word has ever been heard either of the beautiful woman, the sinister German, or the morose Englishman. Early that morning a peasant had met a cart containing several people and some very bulky boxes driving rapidly in the direction of Reading, but there all traces of the fugitives disappeared, and even Holmes's ingenuity failed ever to discover the least clew as to their whereabouts.

Les craintes de Holmes devaient se réaliser, car depuis ce jour nul n’a plus entendu parler de la jolie femme, du sinistre Allemand ou du sombre Anglais. Un paysan avait croisé de bonne heure, ce matin-là, une charrette contenant plusieurs personnes, et de grandes caisses, roulant rapidement vers Reading ; mais là, toute trace des fugitifs disparaissait et l’ingéniosité même de Holmes ne put jamais découvrir le moindre indice qui le mît sur leur trace.
