Не могу правильно перевести следующие предложения:
Молодой человек Дэвид Балфур отправляется с письмом в поместье к своему дяде, младшему брату умершего отца. Юноша должен вступить во владение наследством. Но жестокий и коварный дядя вовсе не спешит расставаться со своими владениями.
Кто нибудь может? Чтобы смысл не утерялся. Спасибо!
A young gentleman David Balfour carries a letter to his uncle, the younger brother of his late father, at the family estate. David is to inherit the family domain. But the cruel and scheming uncle would not so easily give up (the land and manor).
Или так: David Balfour, a young heir to his late father's, estate, heads to his uncle carrying a letter...
P.S. Почему-то не любят русские люди артикли...
Carrying a letter the young man David Balfour leaves for estate of his uncle, younger brother of his departed father. Juvenile is to come into heirdom. But crafty and sly uncle doesn't hurry to lose his possessions
