Mrs. Murret. Yes; my southern drawl.
Mr. Jenner. Well, I wouldn't call it a southern drawl. You have a distinct Louisiana accent. It's different. The Louisiana accent is not a lazy sort of thing. It has a reasonable sharpness of enunciation which you don't find, say, in Mississippi and some parts of Louisiana. I just came from Dallas, and they pronounce words with a drawl that's as long as your arm.
I happen to be a midwesterner myself, so my accent is hard, I mean, with a sharp enunciation.
Mrs. Murret. Well, during that time she was suing Eddie for a divorce.
Mr. Jenner. Now, was she working at that time?
Mrs. Murret. No; she was not working then.
Mr. Jenner. How was she being supported?
Mrs. Murret. Eddie was supporting her.
Mr. Jenner. Even though they were separated, he was supporting her?
Mrs. Murret. Well, I don't know now if he was supporting her by that time or not, but I know during the course of the divorce he had to pay Marguerite alimony, and he contributed a very fair amount, and he contributed a very good amount to John Edward, which he received until he was 18 years old.
