   Alexander Koryagin to Ardith Hinton:   
      
   AH>> When she complained to my mother, my mother answered   
   AH>> "How would the doctor know if you were turning blue   
   AH>> with that stuff on?"   
      
   AK> Ahem ;), besides the absence of the comma before the   
   AK> quotation marks, I wanna remark again that inside of   
   AK> those marks there is the direct speech.  So,   
   AK> theoretically, it should be either   
   AK>   
   AK>   My  mother answered, "How will the doctor know if you   
   AK>   are turning blue with that stuff on?"
