This question doesn't make sense!
The correctly punctuated sentence is the first one "Will we ever get there?". It´s a direct question, so the question mark is obligatory at the end and it replaces a period in case the sentence finishes there.
The second part "Sandy asked fretfully", must be preceded by a comma because what comes after is the person who came up with the question. However, if it is a quoted question (it doesn´t seem to be the case here), which end in mid sentence, the question mark replaces a comma.
I believe the last time i saw this question it was c............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ c. o. u. l. d. b. e. w. r. o. n. g.
