Technically yes, but generally all dialogue is separated into lines:

"Are you certain there are no more pickles left?" Mr. Jenkins asked.

"Yes, I ate the last one myself," said Ms. Evans, who looked sheepish.

"It's no problem, but I wish there was a store nearby."

"I'm afraid not," Ms. Evans said. "The nearest one is twenty miles away."
