"Override an inherited method" problem with adding in the quotes ""

This is the code I added. I have to escape the quotes so that with the title it will actually add the quotes like this: Blogpost: "My titleeeeeee" by Me.

@Override public String toString() { return "Blogpost: \"" + mTitle + "\"by " + mAuthor; }

But it gives this error: Bummer! Make sure you follow the instructions. Received 'Blogpost: "Check this out!"by Craig Dennis' does that match what was requested?

The challenge asks for: "BlogPost: TITLE by AUTHOR", i.e., TITLE should not be enclosed by quotes. Besides this you should also have a big P in Blogpost:

@Override 
public String toString() { 
    return "BlogPost: " + mTitle + " by " + mAuthor; 
}

Hmm! It did work! Strange error message though... Seems to imply it wants ""Check this out!"" in "". Anyways thanks for the answer!
