2: The quotation marks are used correctly in "Keep cool; it will be all one hundred years hence." since it is a direct quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.
3: The quotation marks are used incorrectly in "A man's house, wrote Sir Edward Cooke, is his castle." The correct usage would be "A man's house is his castle," since it is not a direct quote.
