Wasn't his original job like.... Super dependent on spatial visualization? Like riding a thing down a river?

This was confusing for me at first until I realized that the buggy passed by the house BEFORE the loop (the porte-couchere was the clue). In other words the friend was going to let him out after he had turned around and Twain thought the direction around the loop would affect it.
