Self-interruptions and self-corrections

[Chris Dixon]

Hi Brian,
That's really helpful, thank you.
While you're here, I have another quick query about quotative speech, for 
example:

*CHI:  +" come with me to the castle.
*CHI:  the man said.

Is this right? I'm not sure how to deal with the 'the man said' at the end 
of the first utterance.

Thanks!
Chris
