Enclosed question

This is a sentence of mine:

Wasn't this schedule a little trying for such a tender maiden, you might wonder, but, naturally, if it should prove burdensome to Nunu later, we'd relax the pressure accordingly.

Should I insert a question mark somewhere or leave it as I have it?

  • No question mark is needed, because it's not a question and it's also not quoting a question.
  • The sentence is awkward, but that's another issue.

I changed the sentence to this:

"Wasn't this schedule a little trying for such a tender maiden?" you may ask. Naturally, if it had proved burdensome to Nunu later, we'd have relaxed the pressure.
