My guess is that he is making a kind of Tom Swifty, she answered quickly. A Tom Swifty is a special kind of word play wherein the adverb or verb refers back to a preceding word. Ex: "A ruler", she said straightly; or, "Love your halo", he said angelically. Tsuwm, kindly correct any errors I've made, please.
