Mrs. Paine. His attitude had already been discussed, and I don't believe it was particularly discussed further. But she did indicate that she was going to try to learn some anyway.
Mr. Jenner. Despite that?
Mrs. Paine. I judged so. I asked if she had a book written in Russian entitled "The Self Teacher in the English Language." She did not. And I ordered it. And I think I gave it to her even then. I am quite certain of that. This turned out to be not much help. At least she was interested in trying to learn English.
Mr. Jenner. Was there any discussion of the subject of it being disclosed to the Russian emigré group that she was pregnant.
Mrs. Paine. No; she continued to ask me not to mention that. We did, however, meet someone in the Russian emigré group in Fort Worth after she had the first day put on maternity clothes—and so she was sorry that that meeting had occurred. She judged now people would know.
Mr. Jenner. All right. Did anything else occur in the way of discussions during that 15-day period on the subject of life in Russia, his political philosophy, how they got along, his general disposition, her reaction to America?
Mrs. Paine. She discussed her reaction to America. She was very impressed with the variety of goods available in the stores. She thought the quality was better here than in Russia. Then there was more of that later in October.
Mr. Jenner. I will get to that, in October. Have we pretty well exhausted this 15-day interim period, then?
Mrs. Paine. Yes, sir.
Representative Ford. Mr. Jenner, may I ask a question there? During this 15-day period, did any individual, male or female, come and visit you at your home?
