Comparing your two posts I'm confused as to what you want. In post one 
the string "expression 3" was supposed to evaluate to "expression 3". 
Well, print "expression 3" will look like your first "e 3" example, 
namely minus quotation marks. 

If, instead, print third a (note the missing a in your example code the 
second time around)  should evaluate to "e 3", then in your first post, 
you should have asked that "expression 3" evaluate to {"expression 3"}.

Now, I don't know where your error is: Is the error in your first post, 
and "expression 3" should have become {"expression 3"} in your example? 
Or is the error in your second post, and you do not realize that 
"expression 3" will be displayed as expression 3, whereas what you are 
looking for is
 >> print mold third a
"e 3"
