 Greetings,
 I am working on the Czech translation for Discworld 2: Missing presumed. I
 came across to following bug.

 Every text quote in the ENGLISH1.txt and ENGLISH2.txt files is introduced
 by character which ascii number corresponds to the length of the following
 string. Some sets of strings are introduced by two characters where the
 value of the first one is 8x (hexadecimal) and x corresponds to the number
 of strings in the set. I am guessing it wants to tell that the whole
 string set has only one sound quote or something like that.

 Example:
 {{{
 **‚X**I mean - it seemed we might have
 a few mutual talking points -
 information to exchange -
 **8**pleasantries -
 something in common -
 that sort of thing.
 }}}
 Here, `**‚X**` what is 82 58 in hexadecimal means, that the set has two
 strings and the first one has length of 88 (58 hexadecimaly).

 Unfortunately, I found out that ingame this works well only within
 interviews with other NPCs. When I try to talk about items in the
 inventory, it shows only the first string.

 Example:
 {{{
 **‚l**I'd taste-test this stuff, but the
 animation budget won't stretch to a
 proper demonstration of the results -
 **B**so you're just going to have to
 take it on faith for this one, OK?
 }}}

 Again, it begins with `**,**` (82), therefore it should show two-string
 quote. But as the result the game shows:

 I'd taste-test this stuff, but the
 animation budget won't stretch to a
 proper demonstration of the results -
 and then Rincewind suddenly stops talking.

 Details of the configuration:
 Scummvm 1.9.0.2
 Discworld 2: Missing Presumed (English)
 Windows 7 or 10
