Mrs. Bates. Uh-huh; 18th, 19th, and 20th.
Mr. Jenner. Did he spend substantially all day with you?
Mrs. Bates. No; it was 8 hours altogether in the 3 days.
Mr. Jenner. That was 8 hours that you worked, or 8 hours that he was there?
Mrs. Bates. I worked. And—uh—I spent 8 hours typing 10 pages, single-spaced.
Mr. Jenner. Which would indicate to me, as a lawyer, that you were having some trouble interpreting these notes?
Mrs. Bates. Oh, he'd—he had to spell things out for me and—uh—it was partly in Russian. And he had to transpose it—I mean, translate it for me. And—uh—it was—uh—very difficult to read. A lot of it was scribbled. He would scribble notes and, then, to refresh his memory on it—he said he had to do it surreptitiously [witness pronounced word phonetically surreptiously], he just had to do it when Marina would cover for him while he was doing this.
Mr. Jenner. Marina would cover for him?
Mrs. Bates. Uh-huh—muffle the tone of the typewriter and everything so people wouldn't know that he was—what he was doing.
Mr. Jenner. And Marina was aware, then, according to what he said to you, that he was making these notes?
