It is Joe's funeral, and everybody has attended to pay there respects to Mayor Joe Starks. Janie is stating in the quote that Joe's funeral had to be one of the most beautiful event that Orange County Negro's had ever seen, from the Cadillac and Buick carriages to the motor hearse. They planned Joe funeral to be a great event, but at the same time it was sad to see the mayor leave.
"You wants to be keerful 'bout who you marry, Mis' Starks. Dese strange men runnin' heah tryin' tuh take advantage of yo condition."
Most of the towns woman believe that all the men are after Janie. Janie's friend try to tell her that She needs to be careful of thinking about re-marrying because every man know that Janie is having a hard time going through Joe's death, so they take advantage of her in that situation. At the moment Janie does not think about getting married again, but later on that will change.
