Like so:
"The quotation opens on one paragraph," the commenter explained, "but is sufficiently long that it needs to span over more than one. The quotation marks do not close at the end of the first paragraph.
"The quotation resumes on a second paragraph, with a corresponding open quote mark. Once the quotation is complete, the mark is closed at last."
Yes, the quotes on later paragraphs is to remind the reader that Gandalf is still speaking and weaving his long tale about getting captured by Saruman and rescued bt the eagles, oh and that Saruman is a player in Sauron's bid for world domination.
