Part 4
Explanation and Analysis—Next Corner:
At the beginning of the fourth part, the confrontation between Scratchy Wilson and Potter, which the reader has seen coming for several pages, is literally around the corner. The dramatic irony mounts as Potter and the bride unknowingly walk into a skirmish with the enraged Scratchy Wilson.

They put forth the efforts of a pair walking bowed against a strong wind.
