The title of the song was "Gloria", which many already knew. She said she felt "free from care and anxiety". When dealing with direct speech, according to the British style guide Butcher's Copy-editing , if a quotation is broken by words of the main sentence, and then resumed, the punctuation before the break should follow the closing quote ...
