A good way to paraphrase a quote you do not understand is
to "chunk" it. Take is phrase by phrase and try to understand it in bits, and then
string the whole thing together. This is often how I translate German to English when
the sentences are complicated.
In doing this with the above
quote, it might look something like this:
Julia had
apparently been chatting with a feminine, quiet way before she read Proteous's letter,
and afterward it appears that she kept speaking in her polite ways to make it look like
the letter didn't affect her...until after pondering what she had just read and not
being able to quite understand it, she paused her normal form of
speech.
