Still, even with the possibility of some winding, irregular paths out of Howrah, there was also a limit to how far I could have been transported in the time frame. I’d spent, I thought, a long time on the train—somewhere between twelve and fifteen hours. If I made some calculations, I could narrow the search field, ruling out places too far away.
Why can the narrator now “narrow the search field”?
He recognizes one of the irregular paths out of Howrah Station.
He feels confident that faraway places do not connect to Howrah Station.
He guesses that his home was less than fifteen hours from Howrah Station.
He realizes that the winding paths from Howrah Station do not extend very far.
