“Where we goin’, Tea Cake?” (Chapter 19, pg. 168)

Janie had been in a dirty place for like two days. And Tea Cake wanted to get her out of there, and get her into some place where she would be comfortable. By this time they were still waiting to see what God plans were for them next. So they had to be patient.

“Ah got money on me, Janie. Dey can’t bother me.” (Chapter 19, pg. 169)

Tea Cake was telling Janie that he had money and that she had nothing to worry about because there were some people looking for Tea Cake at that time. And Tea Cake wanted Janie to know that everything would be ok.
