Open speech:
"In judging of that tempestuous wind called Euroclydon," says an old writer—of whose works I possess the only copy extant—"it maketh a marvellous difference, whether thou lookest out at it from a glass window where the frost is all on the outside, or whether thou observest it from that sashless window, where the frost is on both sides, and of which the wight Death is the only glazier."
Dialog:
The doctor went to the boy and said:
- Do you have any thing that your father was holding in your hands?
- Here, - said the boy and took out a large red handkerchief from his pocket.
The last version is much easier to read and follow the conversation flow, especially if it takes a page or two...
