   Hi, Mark Lewis!

    ML> My mother answered her that with that stuff on,  the  doctor  would   
    ML> not know if she was turning blue.   
      
    ML> i make this distinction because of the question is she turning blue   
    ML> /because/ of the stuff or is the stuff simply hiding  the  possible   
    ML> blueness...   
      
   Well, in this case we should change the sentence the original sentence, too.   
      
   PS: As for the direct speech, Ardith's mother could use the subjunctive mood.   
   In that case everything is correct:   
      
   'She answered, "How would the doctor know if you were turning  blue with that   
   stuff on?"'   
      
   Bye, Mark!
