Mrs. Paine. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. Did this strike you as unusual that the wedding ring should be back in this cup on the dresser in their room?
Mrs. Paine. Yes, quite.
Mr. Jenner. Elaborate as to why it struck you as unusual?
Mrs. Paine. I do not wear my wedding ring. Marina has on several occasions said to me she considers that bad luck, not a good thing to do.
I would suspect that she would certainly have wanted Lee to wear his wedding ring, and encouraged him to do it.
Mr. Jenner. In face of the fact that he regularly wore his wedding ring, yet on this occasion, that is being home the evening before, you received this call, you went to the bedroom and you found the wedding ring. Did it occur to you that that might have been in the nature of a leave-taking of some kind by Lee Oswald, leaving his wedding ring for Marina?
Mrs. Paine. It occurred to me that that might have been a form of thinking ahead. I had no way of knowing whether or not Marina had known that he left it. I was not instructed where to look for it.
Mr. Jenner. You were not?
Mrs. Paine. No.
