Job the Third!

Job #3!

1. Secessionist. "Being a slave owner and like other slave owners a politician he was naturally an original secessionist and ardently devoted to the Southern cause," Chapter II.

2. Dictum. "No service was too humble for him to perform in aid of the South, no adventure too perilous for him to undertake if consistent with the character of a civilian who was at heart a soldier, and who in good faith and without too much qualification assented to at least a part of the frankly villainous dictum that all is fair in love and war," Chapter II.

3. Preternatural [the word "preternaturally" - the adverbial form of "preternatural" - is used in the text]. "They [his senses] were, indeed, preternaturally keen and alert," Chapter III.

4. Æolian. "A strange, roseate light shone through the spaces among their trunks and the wind made in their branches the music of Æolian harps," Chapter III.

5. Malign. "He was sure they were arranged in some order which had a secret and malign significance," Chapter III.
