"I think you'd better stay home from school today," he continued, "it's still pretty blustery." So Missy found herself spending the day comparatively alone in a preternaturally quiet house noisy little brother off at school, Aunt Nettie's busy tongue absent, Marguerite, the hired girl, doing the laundry down in the basement.
Bayne," he said slowly, "do you care to tell me the nature of the package you threw across the rail the first night out?" I heard a gasp from the group behind me, a squeal of joy from McGuntrie, a quick, low-drawn breath that surely came from the girl. Preternaturally cool, I thought rapidly. "What's that you say?

I mean to read it many times, for there are pages that I am not sure that I understand. One looks into its depths of suggestion as one looks into a clear but very deep lake; one can see far down, but not to the bottom of it, which remains mysterious. He invites his own soul, but there is no loafing. Indeed his mind seems preternaturally active, as in a combination of dream and cerebration.

Bemis's arm as she came out of the meeting-house the next Sunday, Ephraim's boys, preternaturally smooth of hair and shining of face, beside her. "If it ain't perfane to say it. Mis' Bemis, I feel as if I'd got through the eye of that needle clear into the kingdom of heaven."

At night, after Ruth had gone up to her room, this absence was explained to her at least.
"Don't raise Cain in the kitchen, you two," Maurice said, hastily; "Eleanor hates noise." Edith, subdued by his rebuke, said she wouldn't raise Cain; and, indeed, she and Johnny were preternaturally quiet until things had been cleared away and the taffy could be started.
