Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Maybe, yes. I don't even know.
Mr. Jenner. But why did you take Marina from the home?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Because he was beating her, and we didn't think it was right. We thought that a separation for them—they will decide whether they really love each other, they cannot live without each other, or they forget about each other. But that was absolutely useless to continue to live the way they were.
In fact, Bouhe had the same idea, but he was afraid to do it. He was always afraid of Lee. Naturally, being a bachelor—perhaps, Bouhe's type of person is afraid of his own shadow—there are people like that.
Mr. Jenner. Well, he is an older man.
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. I think he saw a lot in his life, maybe.
Mr. Jenner. He is not a man of great physical stature, like your husband?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. That is it. Lots of things contribute to the personality.
Mr. Jenner. Now, Mrs. De Mohrenschildt, you had discussions with both Marina and Lee about their difficulties?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; we had them at the same time, in the same room.
