21. "Unh hunh, it is uh little dark right long heah." (pg. 44)

There could be a double meaning behind Janie's words. She is literally talking about how the road is dark, but underneath that she is talking about what just went on at the town meeting. She just found out that Jody isn't quite like she thought he was towards her. She might even feel a little bit like he doesn't trust her, and that might make her question his real reason behind marrying her.
