Mr. Jenner. Did Marina accompany you?
Mrs. Paine. Marina went, and he checked the baggage. It was rather more than he could have carried on the city bus, and I am sure he preferred me to a taxi because I don't cost as much.
Mr. Jenner. You didn't cost anything?
Mrs. Paine. That is right. And he then bought a ticket, he bought a ticket for Marina, I mean I was thinking, while he was in the bus station, and suggested that it would be a very difficult thing for a pregnant woman with a small child to take a 12-hour, 13-hour bus trip to New Orleans, and suggested that I drive her down with June.
Mr. Jenner. You volunteered this?
Mrs. Paine. I volunteered this, and suggested further that instead of her staying at her—at the apartment, as was planned at that time, while waiting to hear from him, that she come and stay at my house where he would reach us by phone, and where she would have someone else with her while she waited to hear if he got work.
Mr. Jenner. This was the conversation between you and Lee Harvey Oswald? Was it in English or in Russian?
Mrs. Paine. Probably in Russian. I would think so, because I wanted her to understand.
Mr. Jenner. Was Marina along?
Mrs. Paine. She was present.
