oblige

The tobacco they contained was not replaced; that was deposited at the entrance, but the Pfleger were obliging, and with a good hand-out, a fair share, one could also get one's tobacco and permission to smoke secretly.
Le tabac qu'ils contiennent n'est pas remis : il est déposé à l'entrée, mais les Pfleger sont arrangeants et, moyennant une honnête rétribution, un partage équitable, on peut toucher aussi son tabac et être autorisé à fumer en cachette.
