Excerpt
Mother Angelique’s anxious call rang out over the water, once, twice, many times. But, though she shaded her brows with her hands and strained her keen ears to listen, there was no one visible and no response came back to her. So she climbed the hill again and, reëntering the cabin, began to stir with almost vicious energy the contents of a pot swinging in the wide fireplace. As she toiled she muttered and wagged her gray head with sage misgivings.

I particularly like the umlaut (or whatever it's called) over the second E in reentering. Here in New Hampshire the northernmost county is named Coos, pronounced as two syllables: ko-oss. When I was growing up, it was still spelled with that umlaut over the second O. It's a pity we have lost that pronunciation aid.
