In chapter 10 is a very influencial section in the book of another story where Janie supposedly finds this wonderful man. This man she feels like she has known for a long time and he comes in the store and jokes with her and teaches her to play checkers. This man's name is Virgible Woods but everyone calls him Tea Cake. This man treats Janie with respect and takes her fishing and hunting. Finally, they consider marriage and oddly this would be her 3rd marriage.
