Mr. Jenner. I don't know what the reason was.
But you have confirmed the fact that he didn't care for the people in the Russian colony.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. He did not have any friends, you see. Maybe he identified me not as a Russian, because I have not much Russian blood in me anyway. Maybe he identified me as some sort of an internationalist, American.
Mr. Jenner. Maybe you are.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. I am trying to think of other friends that he had. I cannot recall, myself, a friend of his, actually. I could not say that. He could be my son in age, you see. He is just a kid for me, with whom I played around. Sometimes I was curious to see what went on in his head.
But I certainly would not call myself a friend of his.
Mr. Jenner. Well, that may well be.
But Marina, at least, expresses herself that way—that you "were the only one who remained our friend."
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. She said we were the only ones——
Mr. Jenner. Who remained their friends—the others sort of removed themselves.
