interlocution

And the affectionate and shrewd interlocution by Sanford Schwartz is much appreciated.

This may be held the error of the author which he himself has to confess when he comes to the Divine interlocution.

Interlocution, in-tėr-lo-kū′shun, n. conference: an intermediate decree before final decision.

But without further interlocution we proceed onward with our tale.
