LESSON 74.
COMPOSITION--NOUN CLAUSE--CONTINUED.
+QUOTATION MARKS--RULE.--Quotation marks ("") inclose a copied word or
passage+.
+Remarks+.--Single marks (' ') inclose a quotation within a quotation. If,
within the quotation having single marks, still another quotation is made,
the double marks are again used; as, "The incorrectness of the dispatches
led Bismarck to declare, 'It will soon come to be said, "He lies like the
telegraph."'" This introduction of a third quotation should generally be
avoided, especially where the three marks come at the end, as above.
When a quotation is divided by a parenthetical expression, each part of the
quotation is inclosed; as, "I would rather be right," said Clay, "than be
president."
In quoting a question, the interrogation point must stand within the
quotation marks; as, He asked, "What are you living for?" but, when a
question contains a quotation, this order is reversed; as, May we not find
"sermons in stones"? So also with the exclamation point.
