Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to give me your considered opinion concerning the interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentences?
For the present this young man (although he certainly had turned the corner), lay still in a very precarious state. (R. Blackmore, “Cripps, the Carrier”)
..at last they had turned the corner of their lives and were in smooth water. (J. Galsworthy”)
Hilary began sending funny little notes the moment she had turned the corner. (J. Galsworthy, “Over the River”)
turn the corner = get out of an embarrassing situation , surpass a hardship, overcome a crisis
