Hey everyone,
In a recently-completed scan, the author dealt with dialog in a less common way
than I generally see. The author is British, and therefore the approach may be
something more common in that part of the world.
What I would see is something like the following sentence:
The momentary silence allowed me to say "Where are we going?"
So, the sentence starts with a few words, then leads into the line of dialog.
Should there be a comma after the final word preceding the start of dialog? Or
can this go either way?
Scott
