Mr. Jenner. And anger rose to the surface pretty easily?
Mrs. Paine. Very easily.
Mr. Jenner. What was your impression? Of course he hadn't seen her then for a couple of weeks.
Mrs. Paine. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. Tell us about it—when she came in. Did they embrace?
Mrs. Paine. Yes. We arrived at his uncle's in one section of New Orleans, and had a very friendly half hour or so——
Mr. Jenner. Was he there?
Mrs. Paine. Yes; he was there. He introduced her and little June, and played with June, on his shoulders, perhaps. At any rate, he was very glad to see the baby, and was congenial and outgoing. We talked with the relatives for a short time.
Then the uncle drove them to the apartment—I was following with my children in my car—drove to the apartment he had rented, which was in a different section of the city. And Lee showed her, of course, all the virtues of the apartment that he had rented. He was pleased that there was room enough, it was large enough that he could invite me to stay, and the children, to spend the night there. And he pointed out this little courtyard with grass, and fresh strawberries ready to pick, where June could play. And a screened porch entryway. And quite a large living room. And he was pleased with the furniture and how the landlady had said this was early New Orleans style. And Marina was definitely not as pleased as he had hoped. I think he felt—he wanted to please her. This showed in him.
Mr. Jenner. Tell us what she said. What led you to that conclusion?
