Hi Clive can you clarify the direct speech ("How are you?" she asked.) for me please. I accept that you are correct as its what I have come to as well, however every grammar book I have and several websites I have visited all give the rule for inquisative present simple as auxiliary verb (do) + subject + base form. In this case we seem to be ending with the subject (you).

Thanks again Clive. Yes in reading the books I came to the conclusion this is an irregular form of the rule because of be or perhaps because through usage we have dropped off "do". It helps a lot though to have it confirmed.
