Lovely girl, she's done precisely what he could have wished. He cannot say what she intends by it or whether she knows her own intention, but it is welcome, flattering, even a bit surprising. Because she has taken the step of her own accord, and to receive such a favor from so exemplary a lady is nothing to be simply shrugged away.
He allows himself to remain as he is for a moment, reveling in the knowledge of her kiss, then opens his eyes and clasps one of her hands in his own.
"Mademoiselle, you astonish me. You confound even my capacity for words, and I can only hope that I may prove myself worthy of this favor." He offers a kiss of his own, light and planted on the back of her hand. "It has been both a pleasure and an honor, Irma Boissy."
