Mrs. Oswald. He would bring a book from a library, sit in the living room and read. I was busy with housework, and that is the way it happened.
Mr. Rankin. Did you have differences between you about the time that he spent reading rather than devoting it to you or the other members of the family?
Mrs. Oswald. No. We did have quarrels about his relationship to his mother, the fact that he didn't want to change his relationship to his mother. I know that he read so much that when we lived in New Orleans he used to read sometimes all night long and in order not to disturb me he would be sitting in the bathroom for several hours reading.
Mr. Rankin. Did your quarrels start at that time when you were at Mercedes Street the first time.
Mrs. Oswald. Yes, we didn't have many quarrels.
Mr. Rankin. When you were at Mercedes Street did you have Robert visit you or did you visit him?
Mrs. Oswald. No, he came to us sometimes.
Mr. Rankin. Do you recall seeing any guns at Mercedes Street while you were there?
Mrs. Oswald. No.
Mr. Rankin. Did your mother-in-law come to see you at Mercedes Street?
