Answer:

Quietly, patiently or serenely.

Explanation:

The adjective <em>placid </em>means that something is not easily upset or disturbed. As a result, since adverbs describe actions, in the  excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw" the adverb <em>placidly </em>is used to describe an action like knitting, thus indicating that the white-haired old lady is knitting in a gentle, peaceful and mild manner.
