Explanation:

In the first case, the word in italics is "absconded." The word abscond means to leave or to flee. However, it has a connotation of doing so in a mysterious or secretive manner, especially in order to avoid consequences. On the other hand, the second word in italics is "profusely." Profusely means to give something in excess or in an abundant way. This is the way in which the stranger offered his gratitude.
