Question ;-)

I was reading an article when I came upon this: " You know what? " she said. " The quotes are not mine. Should a comma come before the 'she?'

Hi Lillian.
Simple answer, no.
The question mark replaces the need for a comma. Same with exclamation marks. However, as shown, you still use a lower case "s" for she because it's a dialogue tag.
Love, Deb

Oh my, Deb, will I
ever learn or
remember all the rules? I guess that's why we need editors like you and Jan.
Thanks.
Lillian

Thanks for popping in with this answer, Deb. I just hopped from the frying pan into the fire over here, and didn't see this until just now.
