Janie and Tea Cake went on their picnic, while the town were gossiping about them.
Fine. I'll talk to her.
The town didn't approve of Janie dating a poorer man.
I love Tea Cake and we're getting married.
Sam Watson feared that Janie would've ended like the widow, Ms. Tyler, so he decided to approach Pheoby and warn her.
I don't like Tea Cake to be compared to my ex-husband.
Pheoby denied this idea, however, she still approached Janie. Pheoby believed in the actions and risks that Janie was taking.
Pheoby told Janie that Tea Cake doesn't reach her standards. Janie admitted that she loves Tea Cake, and they were planning to sell the store and get married.
Furthermore, she explained that she didn't want Tea Cake to be compared to her ex-husband. She aspired to live the way she wanted.
