Quotation marks that don't signify speech #2

In the passage below, "Spectator" occurs in quotes but isn't speech. But the script treats it as though it is a speech. So that throws off things slightly.

From the first chapter of Night and Day, currently loaded as text.txt:

"Oh, Mr. Fortescue," exclaimed Mrs. Hilbery, as he finished, "I had just written to say how I envied her! I was thinking of the big gardens and the dear old ladies in mittens, who read nothing but the "Spectator," and snuff the candles. Have they ALL disappeared? I told her she would find the nice things of London without the horrid streets that depress one so."
