On further testing I find that anything with double quotes fails:

Speaker man say: '"Hello," she said.'.

Numbers blow it up, even single digits.

Speaker man say: '7'.

The sequence space, carrage-return, space blows it up even in the middle of some text.

There are probably many other bugs.

It's probably best to test the program by reading articles.  If it can read a few web sites then its probably robust.

  Can you please give us an example text that causes problems?
  I just tried some examples with punctuation (in Squeak 3.7 gamma1)
  and they all worked. (As a starting point I used the examples in the
  class protocol of class  Speaker)

  You send a mail with a subject line that begins with
   [FIX]
  to this list. The subject should also give a short description
  of the fix. For details about tags that we use on this list, you
  may wish to read this page:

  Fixes are reviewed by volunteers and finally accepted for
  inclusion into the image. Details are described at page

  Yes, it is.
