What evidence from the text shows us that the setting is on a plantation
Remember what the old son of a leaf-gathering beggar said? He said that working for the Devil was the shortest way to success. Well, I walked up through the bush then I come onto a large field. Estate-like, you know. Sugar, tobacco, and a hell of a big white house where they say the Devil lives. Ay-ay. So, two next black fellers bring me up to him. Big white man, his hand cold as an axe blade and his mind twice as sharp.”
