Mr. Jenner. I beg your pardon?
Mrs. Paine. He planned to speak to Marina, and this opening phrase was one he normally used calling as he had many previous times to speak to her.
Mr. Jenner. He was under the assumption, you gathered, that Marina was in your home?
Mrs. Paine. He certainly was.
Mr. Jenner. All right.
Mrs. Paine. And I would be fairly certain that I answered him in English. I said she was not there, that I had a notion about where she might be, but I wasn't at all certain. That I would try to find out. He said, he wanted me to—he said he thought she should be at my house. He felt irritated at not having been able to reach her. And he wanted me to——
Mr. Jenner. Did he sound irritated?
Mrs. Paine. Yes; he sounded just a slight edge to his voice. And he wanted me to deliver a message to her that he thought she should be at my house.
Mr. Jenner. And he so instructed you?
Mrs. Paine. Yes.
