I have a newbie question about how to read quotations in the passage (I don't think I saw instructions but it's possible I missed it).
For example, this passage here in the section I'm claimed:
The Archbishop was quick to see that the boy was clever. "This child here waiting at the table, whoever will live to see it, will prove a marvellous man,"* he would say. And so he persuaded More's father to send the boy to Oxford to study law.
*William Roper, The Mirrour of Virtue.
Also, how do I cite the quotation's author who is William Roper in this case?
Good question! I have several books on my plate and I cannot remember if we talked about quotes in this one or not - however here is how you do Footnotes which is what the * is - this is how I would read it... note I do not say the word quote...
The Archbishop was quick to see that the boy was clever. "This child here waiting at the table, whoever will live to see it, will prove a marvellous man,"
Footnote William Roper, The Mirrour of Virtue End Footnote he would say. And so he persuaded More's father to send the boy to Oxford to study law.
Where the portion in
blue is said with a different pitch/tone of voice so that when you get to "he would say." it sounds like the reading before you said "Footnote". I hope this makes sense!
If it does not let me know and I will try again!

Ahh...so this is the "footnotes" I keep seeing people refer to. I'm more used to all the footnotes being together at the bottom of the page, not in the middle of the page like this. I wonder if this is a styling format of all older books.
Your explanation makes perfect sense! I understand how to do it now. Thanks again!
I had a similar question in this same thread and here is what I was told:

Hi all!
I have been asked a question about reading that I did not know the answer to despite having read thousands of chapters for LV! It is regarding Quotes - if one sees quoted material in what you are reading what should you do?
Well, first and foremost, it is important that all readers for the book do the same thing so the BC (Book Coordinator) who in this case this is Cadestra's book that I am helping out with while she is away, is the one to ask. Also, they might post the answer to this question on the first post of the book - in the area below the MW (Magic Window).
There is no "wrong" or "right way" of doing them. Phil says we allow both ways, either saying "quote" ...."end quote" or just indicating the quote by the voice BUT they should be consistent in the book - thus make sure you know which option you are to do for the book that you are reading - it might be different for another book.
For English Literature for Boys & Girls, we will continue, as a good number of Chapters have been recorded now, just indicating the quote by the voice.
Please let me know if you have any questions -
Lynda
