gratifyingly white-faced?

Beyond the next window, the eager crowds stream out of a little walled Flemish town on a brisk spring day, on their way to Calvary to watch what promises to be a highly enjoyable triple crucifixion, turning with wide-eyed fascination as they realize that the principal performers are traveling alongside them, the two thieves gratifyingly white-faced with terror in the tumbrel, Christ on foot, piquantly collapsing beneath the weight of his cross…

请问文中gratifyingly如何理解？是观众gratifying，还是两个小偷？按语法分析似乎是the two thieves who are gratifyingly white faced…那末，gratifyingly white-faced在这里如何理解？*D*D如类the deafening silence的修辞手法，如何翻译呢。此外，piquantly是agonizingly吗？请方家们赐教。注：window在这里是指paintings，如window般大小。
