Foreshadowing?

Back in chapters 9 and 10, there were some very weird endings. In chapter 9, the plot was with the wolfers and The Englishman's boy. It ends with " only darker and dimmer, and that the rider on the pale horse was again one of their party, the unlucky, the cursed thriteenth." ( Vanderhaeghe, 96) This made me think that maybe it was foreshadowing something bad to happen to the group. Nothing really bad happened except for the wolfers not finding their horses. In chapter 10, the quote "It is only for an instant, but I believe I have glimpsed Damon Ira Chance alone, in the vast marble desert of a ballroom, standing upright on a chair, in the dark." ( Vanderhaeghe, 111) This made me think that he was going to hang himself. I was waiting as I read to hear it, that maybe his production was going bad and he hung himself. Maybe this was foreshadowing his death in later chapters.
