Tura (talgi) | 41 comments Hello!

After sending one quote from the book "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, I realized there was a problem with the spacing. What had to be a quote of two lines (since it's a dialogue) became one, and now it's confusing to read and also has an incorrect meaning. Also, it's missing a hyphen at the beginning to indicate it's a dialogue. The quote I'm talking about is the following: https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/9592...

For this reason, I was wondering if you could please edit it and add the hyphen and the full stop that are missing now.

So, the quote now is:
Es correcto buscar la paz para los muertos —insiste Príamo con voz amable—. Tú y yo sabemos bien que no la hay para quienes los sobreviven. —No —susurra Aquiles.

And it should be:
—Es correcto buscar la paz para los muertos —insiste Príamo con voz amable—. Tú y yo sabemos bien que no la hay para quienes los sobreviven.
—No —susurra Aquiles.

(Note the "—" at the beginning, and that starting from the "—No" it's a different line).

If I wasn't clear enough please tell me and I will try to explain myself better.

Thank you so much in advance.
