Here is a sentence from a novel by Carson McCullers, The Members of the Wedding:
And then, on the last Friday of August, all this was changed:it was so sudden that Frankie puzzled the whole blank afternoon, and still she did not understand.
Is the use of 'puzzled' grammatical in this instance, or is it idiosyncratic?
