Morton I spoke."

LV. When a quotation occurs in another quotation, single inverted
commas are used for the former.

"What have you done?" said one of Balfour's brother
officers. "My duty," said Balfour firmly. "Is it not
written, 'Thou shalt be zealous even to slaying'?"

Some writers use the single commas in ordinary cases. For the inner
quotation they would then use the double commas.

LVI. A word that is not classical English, or is used in a sense in
which it is not classical English, is either enclosed within inverted
commas or italicized.

Those that have "located" (_located_) previous to this
period are left in undisputed possession, provided they have
improved the land.

Before long, Beckey received not only "the best" foreigners
(as the phrase is in our noble and admirable society slang),
but some of "the best" English people too.

Foreign words are always italicized. (Rule LXIV.)

LVII. The titles of books, of essays, and of other compositions; the
names of periodicals; and the names of ships, are either enclosed
within inverted commas or italicized.

In these "Miscellanies" was first published the "Art of
Sinking in Poetry," which, by such a train of consequences
as usually passes in literary quarrels, gave in a short
time, according to Pope's account, occasion to the
"Dunciad."

The "Emily St Pierre" (or _Emily St Pierre_), a British
ship, was captured on the 18th March, 1862.

It appeared in the "London Gazette" (or _London Gazette_).

The names of periodicals and of ships are more often written in
italics than enclosed within inverted commas.

LVIII. If a quotation contains a question, the point of interrogation
stands within the inverted commas.

In a voice which was fascination itself, the being addressed
me, saying, "Wilt thou come with me? Wilt thou be mine?"

LIX. If an interrogative sentence ends with a quotation, the point of
interrogation stands outside the inverted commas.

What does this honourable person mean by "a tempest that
outrides the wind"?

Observe how in the example given under Rule LV. the point of
interrogation stands within the double inverted commas, but outside
the single inverted commas.

LX. If an interrogative sentence ends with a quotation which is itself
interrogatory, the point of interrogation is placed outside the
inverted
