TEWWG pg 3

Text: "She's way fast forty to my knowledge, phoeby"
'She's way too old for a boy like Tea Cake"
"Tea Cake aint been no boy for some time. He's round thirty his ownself"

We learn that the womans age is somewhere a bit over 40. . Before this I thought that she was in her twenties considering her description, "...her firm buttocks like she had grape fruits in her hip pockets...then her pugnacious breast trying to bore holes in her shirt..." and the mention of her previous boy friend running off with a girl so young "she don't even have no hairs". From these descriptions we can take that she is a very good looking and healthy woman.
