Can you help Gertrude by putting in the correct quotation marks?
Gertrude the Galloping Gossip –
Incorrect version
I’m Gertrude and I love to gossip. Did you hear about Jack and Nelly? I passed their window this morning and I heard them talking.
He said, Nelly you spend too much money! I am going to break up with you if you keep spending like this. If you are so rich then spend your own money.
Then, Nelly said, Jack it is so over between us. We were never really together to begin with.
OMG! Can you believe it? They were not such a great couple anyway.
