Une Question

From:Douglas Koller, Latin & French <latinfrench@...>
Date:Tuesday, March 9, 2004, 20:37
This question came up today in French class, to which I had to reply,
"I have no idea." I then posed it to the native speaker here in
school, to which she replied, "Aucune idée." So maybe someone here
knows.

How do you handle a quote within a quote in French? In other words,
*punctuation-wise*, what do you do with a sentence like:

When our teacher told us, "Caesar said, 'Veni, vidi, vici,'" I was
utterly flabbergasted.
