Summary:
The narrative leaps forward to the future, when Ike "would remember" what happens next in the woods (174). The memory is probably a recurring one (Ike thinks of the events of "The Old People" again in 1940 in "Delta Autumn"), but the immediate context does not allow us to say if the memory here occurs at any specific time or place in Ike's life, so our choices for location and date are speculative. The locution "he would remember" occurs again a few words later. The effect of this temporal disruption is complex: on the one hand it makes the moment itself less immediate; on the other, it locates the moment in a time- and place-less realm, one that is difficult for a database to capture!
