Don’t forget to start a new line for each new speaker! You will need to rewrite the extract.

“Who gets that bow, then?” asked Croctordoctor, pointing at the pearl bow with the tip of
his arrow.

“Oh!” Perian said. “Can I have it?” Perian loved shiny weapons.

“Sure,” said Katka.

“Perian gets it?” said Croctordoctor, his voice rising suddenly to an unlikely squeak. “She
has a good bow already! What about me?”
