"I shall buy the Boston ferns," she said; "they seem to require but little care."
(2) Oh! The flames are higher!
"Oh!" she cried. "The flames are higher!"
4. Division into sentences is made within a quotation just as elsewhere. When the thought ends, the sentence must end. The different sentences, however, must not be divided by quotation marks; as,
"The train came in," said he, "half an hour ago. I do not see them in the waiting room. I think they did not come."
5. When a quotation is very long, consisting of several paragraphs, quotation marks should be placed at the beginning of the quotation, at the beginning of each succeeding paragraph, and at the end of the quotation—not at the end of each paragraph.
6. When a quotation occurs within a quotation, the one within is distinguished by single marks; as,
John explained, "After I had told Mr. Brown how I thought the work could be done more easily, he said, 'Thank you for your suggestion.'"
7. Any words quoted from a book or article, or any words quoted with a special significance, such as slang, should be enclosed in quotation marks; as,
The day of the salesman who is satisfied with the "good old way" is fast passing.
