Hello everyone!

I have written a dissertation on female characterisation in Enchantment (I'm supposed to hand it to my research director in a week). In the course of my argumentation, I happen to quote Prentice Alvin, but I'm not sure of the exact words. Here's my problem: I live in France and do not have access to an English copy of Prentice Alvin (I read it in a library when I was abroad, so, no, I don't own one). Can anyone help me, please ?
The excerpt is from chapter 6: "Masquerade" (on page 91 of the Orbit edition):
"But men don’t measure the cut of a woman’s clothes. Instead, they pleasure in the naturalness of a lady who is confortable, sure of herself, enjoying life on this day, in his company.”
Is it "they pleasure" or "they take pleasure"?
Please?

The line is:

"...they pleasure in the naturalness of a lady who is comfortable..."

(Note "comfortable," not "confortable.")
