The other day, I was reading one of the detective stories of Sherlock Holmes, entitled " The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist".
While I was reading the final part of this particular story, it occured to me what would be the correct interpretation of the particular part of this story.
The following is the part.
One was a woman, our client, drooping and faint, a handkerchief round her mouth. Opposite her stood a brutal, heavy-faced, red-moustached young man, his gaitered legs parted wide, one arm akimbo, the other waving a riding-crop, his whole attitude suggestive of triumphant bravado.

Now, my question is as follows;
1) Is this a kind of eupimism describing an act of sextual intercouse between the kidnapped lady and the villan?
2) If it is a forced wedding ceremony, why did they choose
such a remote isolated place as they might have had other places for their choise?

Could some Sherlockians give me your interpretation please?
