There was once an old lady who walked into a bank, holding a big sack of money. She demanded to speak with the president of the bank. After a few minutes of arguing with a staff, they finally relented. "Uh, hello ma'am," The president greeted. "How can I help-" He stopped and stared at her sack of money. "Where did you get that?" He asked, gesturing towards the bag of money. "Bets," She smiled, "in fact, I want to bet with you right now! I bet you $20,000 that you have square toes, and I would like to bring my lawyer as a witness! Tomorrow!" "Fine," The president laughed. The next day, the president didn't have square toes, as the lady held his toes in her hands and examined them herself. The funny part, though she lost that bet, she won another one for $100,000, and it was that she would hold the president of the bank's toes.

This part of the passage employs the technique of magic realism.
It is when the improbable things like myths, legends, larger than life comparisons are interspersed in a realistic narrative so as to make sense of things that do not otherwise make much sense.
Here, the woman does not believe her eyes when her husband appears in the skyline so the imagery that describes his appearance is used in this way to convey the magical emotion.
