We don't know, because Hutchinson wasn't explicit.
A kiss was exchanged at the entrance to the court, and thus I stick to my guns.
I don't believe the scene Hutchinson is describing can be properly interpreted as a stereotypical meeting between an East End streetwalker and a client at 2.30 a.m. I think it shows familiarity.
The fact that she didn't immediately solicit him for six pence is a rather weak peg on which to hang your hat.
But different people interpret things differently. That's why we debate.
