Mr. Rankin. Can you tell us what attracted you to him?
Mrs. Oswald. I don't know. First, the fact that he was—he didn't look like others. You could see he was an American. He was very neat, very polite, not the way he was here, not as you know him here. And it seemed that he would be a good family man. And he was good.
Mr. Rankin. Did you talk about many things when you were together, when he was courting you?
Mrs. Oswald. We talked about everything, about the moon and the weather.
Mr. Rankin. Where was he living at that time?
Mrs. Oswald. In Minsk. By the way, on the same street where I lived.
Mr. Rankin. Did he have an apartment?
Mrs. Oswald. Yes. By the way, this was the same apartment where I had dreamed to live. I didn't know about it yet. It had a very beautiful balcony, terrace. I would look at that building sometimes and say it would be good to visit in that building, visit someone there, but I never thought that I would wind up living there.
Mr. Rankin. Can you describe the number of rooms there were in his apartment?
Mrs. Oswald. We had a small room—one room, kitchen, foyer, and bathroom. A large terrace, balcony.
