It's not strictly a linguistic matter that causes me to go back to 18.21. It
is a matter of the structure of the passage. The angel's speech continues
through the rest of Cap. 18. 19.1 begins the response to the angel's speech
which continues through 19.8 so that 19.9 picks up with the angel again.
