Thank you for this clarity.

Maria Rattray pointed out to me, that the proper punctuation to indicate the person is still speaking in a second paragraph is to not use a closed quote at the end of the first paragraph, but do use another opening quote in the second, and subsequent paragraphs if the same person is speaking. Only when they’re finished speaking do you use a closing quote.
