Mrs. Murret. Oh, yes. You see, she was that way, very quick. She would do things on the spur of the minute, where maybe somebody else would think it over before acting. I always think over things to give it a chance to cool off before I do something, but not Marguerite. When she left him she didn't get a divorce. She just separated. He got half of the furniture, and she got half of the furniture, I think.
Mr. Jenner. Before they were divorced?
Mrs. Murret. Before they were divorced; yes.
Mr. Jenner. Now if I may return a minute, you said she was very quick.
Mrs. Murret. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. Would you elaborate on that a little?
Mrs. Murret. Yes; if I can.
Mr. Jenner. I am trying to find out as much as I can about her personality. Now, when you said she was quick, do I get an inference from that that she was hasty, or that she was impulsive, or that she would act without thinking things over?
Mrs. Murret. Yes; she would do that. She was quick in making up her mind about anything that happened. She made her decisions very fast without sleeping on them, not like me. I always try to sleep over a problem if I have to make a decision, because a lot of times I will have a different outlook on the thing the next day, but not Marguerite. She would just act right now regardless of the consequences once she made up her mind. That's what I mean. In other words, when she would find something that she just didn't like, that was it. She made quick decisions.
Mr. Jenner. Was this a personality trait that she had as a young girl as well as a mature lady?
