Mrs. Paine. Yes; to stay at my house before, or especially right after the baby's birth, where I could look after June while she was in the hospital and later. June didn't take readily to strangers. She did like me and was comfortable with me, so I felt she might want to have someone she knew and got along with.
Mr. Jenner. But in this connection, was there a discussion between you and Marina Oswald subject to her husband wishing her to return to Russia?
Mrs. Paine. I don't believe she again said that he was after her to return.
Mr. Jenner. Well, then, on the whole, your answer to my question would be no.
Mrs. Paine. That is right. As far as I recall, it came up only once in our discussions prior to New Orleans.
Mr. Jenner. Which you have already related?
Mrs. Paine. Right.
Mr. Jenner. Was there any discussion during the 15-day period on the subject of her acquiring greater facility with the English language?
Mrs. Paine. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. And his attitude toward that?
