Pg 7. “...nine hundred dollars in de bank. Tea Cake got me into wearing ‘em...If he wasn’t gone...”
Janie reveals the truth about resent past. She states that her husband, Tea Cake didn’t take any of her money, that she wears overalls like he did, and he didn’t leave her. She says that he gave her every ‘consolation’ in the world - he gave her comfort and compassion. “If he wasn’t gone,” Janie is home because Tea Cake passed away. This confirms that she isn’t in the best situation because he husband died, but dying is a part of life - she’s not in a bad predicament like the people on the deck were making it seem.
