"No'm, he aint even talked 'bout hittin me. He says he never mean to lay de weight uh his hand on me in malice.He chops all de wood he think Ah wants and den he totes it inside de kitchen for me. Keeps both water buckets full."
Sounds like whoever Janies husband is doing good so far. he promised to never lay the weight of his hand on her in malice, which means to cause harm or injury. Then he goes outside to chop wood, for her without her even asking, and he chops how much he thinks she needs. on top of that he keeps both water buckets full, not just one, but both.
"Ah wants things sweet wid mah marriage lak when you sit under a pear tree and think. Ah . . ."
She wants things to be perfect and relieving, like when you sit under a pear tree, because when you sit under a pear tree and think, you daydream and pretend that everything is extra perfect, and that’s how she wants her marriage and her life to be, ate least that’s what she wishes.
