Looks like a quotation mark must be within a quoted string (or it
means something else). But once you start a quoted string, another
quote will end it. The back slash "escapes" the following character,
telling LP that it's not a control character, but an actual quote. 

A bit clumsy but logical, kind of like using ##T to set some LP option
true. The first # to tell LP that a Scheme expression is following,
then #T means "True".
