Well, the brothers chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it.
麻烦老师分析一下这个句子,翻译的很乱。这句话中的his being in possession of it是什么成分呢,这里该如何翻译?
感谢老师!
