It<\/span> was after the picnic that the town began to notice things and got mad. Tea Cake and Mrs. Mayor Starks! All the men that she could get, and fooling with somebody like Tea Cake! Another thing, Joe Starks hadn\u2019t been dead but nine months and here she goes sashaying off to a picnic in pink linen. Done quit attending church, like she used to. Gone off to Sanford in a car with Tea Cake and her all dressed in blue! It was a shame. Done took to high-heel slippers and a ten dollar hat! Looking like some young girl, always in blue because Tea Cake told her to wear it. Poor Joe Starks. Bet he turns over in his grave every day. Tea Cake and Janie gone hunting. Tea Cake and Janie gone fishing. Tea Cake and Janie gone to Orlando to the movies. Tea Cake and Janie gone to a dance. Tea Cake making flower beds in Janie\u2019s yard and seeding the garden for her. Chopping down that tree she never did like by the dining room window. All those signs of possession. Tea Cake in a borrowed car teaching Janie to drive. Tea Cake and Janie playing checkers; playing coon-can; playing Florida flip on the store porch all afternoon as if nobody else was there. Day after day and week after week.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cPheoby,\u201d Sam Watson said one night as he got in the bed, \u201cAh b\u2019lieve yo\u2019 buddy is all tied up with dat Tea Cake shonough. Didn\u2019t b\u2019lieve it at first.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cAw she don\u2019t mean nothin\u2019 by it. Ah think she\u2019s sort of stuck on dat undertaker up at Sanford.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt\u2019s somebody \u2019cause she looks might good dese days. New dresses and her hair combed a different way nearly every day. You got to have something to comb hair over. When you see uh woman doin\u2019 so much rakin\u2019 in her head, she\u2019s combin\u2019 at some man or \u2019nother.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u202f\u2019Course she kin do as she please, but dat\u2019s uh good chance she got up at Sanford. De man\u2019s wife died and he got uh lovely place tuh take her to\u2014already furnished. Better\u2019n her house Joe left her.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cYou better sense her intuh things then \u2019cause Tea Cake can\u2019t do nothin\u2019 but help her spend whut she got. Ah reckon dat\u2019s whut he\u2019s after. Throwin\u2019 away whut Joe Starks worked hard tuh git tuhgether.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cDat\u2019s de way it looks. Still and all, she\u2019s her own woman. She oughta know by now whut she wants tuh do.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cDe men wuz talkin\u2019 \u2019bout it in de grove tuhday and givin\u2019 her and Tea Cake both de devil. Dey figger he\u2019s spendin\u2019 on her now in order tuh make her spend on him later.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cUmph! Umph! Umph!\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cOh dey got it all figgered out. Maybe it ain\u2019t as bad as they say, but they talk it and make it sound real bad on her part.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cDat\u2019s jealousy and malice. Some uh dem very mens wants tuh do whut dey claim deys skeered Tea Cake is doin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cDe Pastor claim Tea Cake don\u2019t \u2019low her tuh come tuh church only once in awhile \u2019cause he want dat change tuh buy gas wid. Just draggin\u2019 de woman away from church. But anyhow, she\u2019s yo\u2019 bosom friend, so you better go see \u2019bout her. Drop uh lil hint here and dere and if Tea Cake is tryin\u2019 tuh rob her she kin see and know. Ah laks de woman and Ah sho would hate tuh see her come up lak Mis\u2019 Tyler.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cAw mah God, naw! Reckon Ah better step over dere tomorrow and have some chat wid Janie. She jus\u2019 ain\u2019t thinkin\u2019 whut she doin\u2019, dat\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

The next morning Pheoby picked her way over to Janie\u2019s house like a hen to a neighbor\u2019s garden. Stopped and talked a little with everyone she met, turned aside momentarily to pause at a porch or two\u2014going straight by walking crooked. So her firm intention looked like an accident and she didn\u2019t have to give her opinion to folks along the way.<\/p>\r\n

Janie acted glad to see her and after a while Pheoby broached her with, \u201cJanie, everybody\u2019s talkin\u2019 \u2019bout how dat Tea Cake is draggin\u2019 you round tuh places you ain\u2019t used tuh. Baseball games and huntin\u2019 and fishin\u2019. He don\u2019t know you\u2019se useter uh more high time crowd than dat. You always did class off.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cJody classed me off. Ah didn\u2019t. Naw, Pheoby, Tea Cake ain\u2019t draggin\u2019 me off nowhere Ah don\u2019t want tuh go. Ah always did want tuh git round uh whole heap, but Jody wouldn\u2019t \u2019low me tuh. When Ah wasn\u2019t in de store he wanted me tuh jes sit wid folded hands and sit dere. And Ah\u2019d sit dere wid de walls creepin\u2019 up on me and squeezin\u2019 all de life outa me. Pheoby, dese educated women got uh heap of things to sit down and consider. Somebody done tole \u2019em what to set down for. Nobody ain\u2019t told poor me, so sittin\u2019 still worries me. Ah wants tuh utilize mahself all over.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cBut, Janie, Tea Cake, whilst he ain\u2019t no jail-bird, he ain\u2019t got uh dime tuh cry. Ain\u2019t you skeered he\u2019s jes after yo\u2019 money\u2014him bein\u2019 younger than you?\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cHe ain\u2019t never ast de first penny from me yet, and if he love property he ain\u2019t no different from all de rest of us. All dese ole men dat\u2019s settin\u2019 round me is after de same thing. They\u2019s three mo\u2019 widder women in town, how come dey don\u2019t break dey neck after dem? \u2019Cause dey ain\u2019t got nothin\u2019, dat\u2019s why.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cFolks seen you out in colors and dey thinks you ain\u2019t payin\u2019 de right amount uh respect tuh yo\u2019 dead husband.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cAh ain\u2019t grievin\u2019 so why do Ah hafta mourn? Tea Cake love me in blue, so Ah wears it. Jody ain\u2019t never in his life picked out no color for me. De world picked out black and white for mournin\u2019, Joe didn\u2019t. So Ah wasn\u2019t wearin\u2019 it for him. Ah was wearin\u2019 it for de rest of y\u2019all.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cBut anyhow, watch yo\u2019self, Janie, and don\u2019t be took advantage of. You know how dese young men is wid older women. Most of de time dey\u2019s after whut dey kin git, then dey\u2019s gone lak uh turkey through de corn.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cTea Cake don\u2019t talk dat way. He\u2019s aimin\u2019 tuh make hisself permanent wid me. We done made up our mind tuh marry.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cJanie, you\u2019se yo\u2019 own woman, and Ah hope you know whut you doin\u2019. Ah sho hope you ain\u2019t lak uh possum\u2014de older you gits, de less sense yuh got. Ah\u2019d feel uh whole heap better \u2019bout yuh if you wuz marryin\u2019 dat man up dere in Sanford. He got somethin\u2019 tuh put long side uh whut you got and dat make it more better. He\u2019s endurable.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cStill and all Ah\u2019d rather be wid Tea Cake.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cWell, if yo\u2019 mind is already made up, \u2019tain\u2019t nothin\u2019 nobody kin do. But you\u2019se takin\u2019 uh awful chance.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cNo mo\u2019 than Ah took befo\u2019 and no mo\u2019 than anybody else takes when dey gits married. It always changes folks, and sometimes it brings out dirt and meanness dat even de person didn\u2019t know they had in \u2019em theyselves. You know dat. Maybe Tea Cake might turn out lak dat. Maybe not. Anyhow Ah\u2019m ready and willin\u2019 tuh try \u2019im.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cWell, when you aim tuh step off?\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cDat we don\u2019t know. De store is got tuh be sold and then we\u2019se goin\u2019 off somewhere tuh git married.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cHow come you sellin\u2019 out de store?\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u202f\u2019Cause Tea Cake ain\u2019t no Jody Starks, and if he tried tuh be, it would be uh complete flommuck. But de minute Ah marries \u2019im everybody is gointuh be makin\u2019 comparisons. So us is goin\u2019 off somewhere and start all over in Tea Cake\u2019s way. Dis ain\u2019t no business proposition, and no race after property and titles. Dis is uh love game. Ah done lived Grandma\u2019s way, now Ah means tuh live mine.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhat you mean by dat, Janie?\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cShe was borned in slavery time when folks, dat is black folks, didn\u2019t sit down anytime dey felt lak it. So sittin\u2019 on porches lak de white madam looked lak uh mighty fine thing tuh her. Dat\u2019s whut she wanted for me\u2014don\u2019t keer whut it cost. Git up on uh high chair and sit dere. She didn\u2019t have time tuh think whut tuh do after you got up on de stool uh do nothin\u2019. De object wuz tuh git dere. So Ah got up on de high stool lak she told me, but Pheoby, Ah done nearly languished tuh death up dere. Ah felt like de world wuz cryin\u2019 extry and Ah ain\u2019t read de common news yet.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cMaybe so, Janie. Still and all Ah\u2019d love tuh experience it for just one year. It look lak heben tuh me from where Ah\u2019m at.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cAh reckon so.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cBut anyhow, Janie, you be keerful \u2019bout dis sellin\u2019 out and goin\u2019 off wid strange men. Look whut happened tuh Ahnie Tyler. Took whut little she had and went off tuh Tampa wid dat boy dey call Who Flung. It\u2019s somethin\u2019 tuh think about.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt sho is. Still Ah ain\u2019t Mis\u2019 Tyler and Tea Cake ain\u2019t no Who Flung, and he ain\u2019t no stranger tuh me. We\u2019se just as good as married already. But Ah ain\u2019t puttin\u2019 it in de street. Ah\u2019m tellin\u2019 you<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cAh jus lak uh chicken. Chicken drink water, but he don\u2019t pee-pee.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cOh, Ah know you don\u2019t talk. We ain\u2019t shame-faced. We jus\u2019 ain\u2019t ready tuh make no big kerflommuck as yet.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cYou doin\u2019 right not tuh talk it, but Janie, you\u2019se takin\u2019 uh mighty big chance.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u202f\u2019Tain\u2019t so big uh chance as it seem lak, Pheoby. Ah\u2019m older than Tea Cake, yes. But he done showed me where it\u2019s de thought dat makes de difference in ages. If people thinks de same they can make it all right. So in the beginnin\u2019 new thoughts had tuh be thought and new words said. After Ah got used tuh dat, we gits \u2019long jus\u2019 fine. He done taught me de maiden language all over. Wait till you see de new blue satin Tea Cake done picked out for me tuh stand up wid him in. High-heel slippers, necklace, earrings, everything<\/span> he wants tuh see me in. Some of dese mornin\u2019s and it won\u2019t be long, you gointuh wake up callin\u2019 me and Ah\u2019ll be gone.\u201d<\/p>","rendered":"
