“Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,”
The womans approach: at twilight, as the day was fading, as the dark of night set in. The timing is significant: twilight, dark of night.

This detail emphasizes that temptation often comes in circumstances that make clear thinking difficult at vulnerable moments, in situations lacking witnesses.
