"The Raging Quiet," by Sherryl Jordan Quiz

Answer: Fernleigh

Fernleigh is about a day's wagon ride from Marnie and Isake's new house. The closest town to either of those places is Torcurra.

Answer: True

Marnie later wears the dress when she goes back to Fernleigh for Midsummer's Eve, but she doesn't wear it for her wedding to Raven.

Answer: Six brown eggs

When Marnie first sees Raven approaching, she is afraid he'll "spit devils at her," and slams the door. When she finally opens it she finds the eggs and a cross from the priest and laughs.

Answer: Gardening

Father Brannan sees Marnie passing by on her way back from the Torcurra market and calls out to her. When she comes over he asks her how she's doing and invites her in for cider.

Answer: False

Marnie bangs the frying pan against the hearth while Raven is asleep. When he doesn't wake, Marnie stays up late thinking of hand-signs to use to try and talk to him.

Answer: "Where did you get these fish?"

At first Raven doesn't understand what Marnie is trying to do at all, but when she withholds a second bowl of soup until he pays attention to her he figures it out pretty quickly.

Answer: Sand

Marnie takes sand from the beach, spreads it on the table, and draws squiggly and straight lines and a circle and a square to indicate differences.

Answer: "Why" signed with both hands

Raven asks "why" so often Marnie laughs at him. Raven realizes how silly he seems, too, and "why, why" becomes their sign for "stupid."

Answer: Pierce

Pierce Isherwood thinks that Marnie isn't entitled to the house because she was only Isake's wife for two days before he died. What he really wants is the valuable treasure supposedly hidden somewhere inside the house.

Answer: Sheilah

Sheilah is one three of Marnie's siblings whose names are mentioned, along with her brothers Nathy and Little Barnaby.

Answer: The stained-glass window breaks

Pierce Isherwood offers to pay for a new window, since the villagers can't afford it, if they will allow Isake's name to be carved in the stone underneath as a memoriam.

Answer: Nine

Each time she must take a step, Father Brannan makes a chopping motion with his hand because Marnie is almost delirious with the pain.

Answer: In the bag of wheat he brings

To test Marnie's innocence, the cloth must stay on and sealed for three days. If the wound is festered, Marnie is a witch, if it is clean she is innocent. Raven doesn't know this and removes the cloth to care for Marnie's hand. Father Brannan knows Marnie is not a witch and brings new cloth (hidden in a bag of wheat so he won't be found out) so she will not be burned.

Answer: Rubies, jasper, and diamonds

When Raven first finds the ring, Marnie believes it is a child's bauble, made from colored glass. It is not until Pierce Isherwood mentions that he has been searching for a piece of jewelry containing rubies, jasper, and diamonds, that Marnie rushes to Father Brannan and asks him what color the gems are.

At first he thinks she is going mad because while she is asking him the village boys set her house afire, but Marnie and Raven were leaving anyway.

Answer: The Holy Gospels

Father Brannan gives Marnie and Raven many gifts before they leave, but this one is for Marnie to read when she learns. He wrote an inscription inside, probably with a message too sentimental for him to say out loud, but he won't read it to Marnie, saying she must wait until she can read it herself.
