"I do, my dear marquis," was the gracious reply, while the royal hand was held out to be kissed. Louvois pressed it to his lips, as a lover does the rosy fingers of his mistress, and, hastening away with the agility of a young man, sprang into his carriage, and drove off.

His instinct, now aroused too late, told him that he had better leave her alone for the present.
The other villain, hastening to meet Brown, called to his companion to come along, 'for that one's CONTENT, meaning, probably, past resistance or complaint.
