Indirect Discourse

Indirect Discourse: narrator reports speech or thought of a character without quotation marks

In Zaat (pg 207)
"Here's what we need: a loan form the bank for 450 thousand pounds on a guarantee of 700 tons of peanuts. The papers are ready and include an insurance policy on the merchandise for around 200 thousand pounds. What is the problem?"

In this instance, Maguid's thoughts as well as the Hagg's dialogue is presented without quotation marks.
