End of quote

[Galarneau]

I am confused about the problem with the way I ended a quote in my last review.
One example is, "..., but the women were eager to her of her sumptuous dinner" (p. 136). It should say, "eager to hear of her sumptuous dinner".

For readers opposed to profanity, this book may not be for them.
In the above sentence, is the pronoun "them" appropriate to use with the subject "readers" or does the pronoun have to be "you"?

In American English, periods ALWAYS go inside the quotation marks.

INCORRECT: Roosevelt spoke of December 7, 1941, as “a day that will live in infamy”.
CORRECT: Roosevelt spoke of December 7, 1941, as “a day that will live in infamy.”

Some exceptions occur when citing a direct quote:

INCORRECT: She knows she is no longer safe, saying, “I feared for my Safety in this wicked House (28)."
CORRECT: She knows she is no longer safe, saying, “I feared for my Safety in this wicked House” (28).

In your example, the first sentence is correct:

CORRECT: One example is, "...but the women were eager to her of her sumptuous dinner" (p. 136).

Your second sentence is not:

INCORRECT: It should say, "eager to hear of her sumptuous dinner".
CORRECT: It should say, "eager to hear of her sumptuous dinner."

I'm not entirely sure about your second question. I'd say it depends on who you are addressing:

ADDRESSED TO ALL: For readers opposed to profanity, this book may not be for them.

ADDRESSED TO READERS WHO ARE OPPOSED TO PROFANITY: For readers opposed to profanity, this book may not be for you.
