indirect speech
uncountable noun
Indirect speech is speech which tells you what someone said, but does not use the person's actual words: for example, 'They said you didn't like it', 'I asked her what her plans were', and ' Citizens complained about the smoke'. [mainly British]
A narrative tic of slipping continually between direct and indirect speech adds to the story's disjointed haziness.
regional note:   in AM, usually use indirect discourse
