Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Very possible, very possible. I don't remember.
Mr. Jenner. Had you known Ruth Paine at all prior to this time?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Met her the first time that evening, and we liked her very much, because she is an outgoing, warm, and wonderful person. I thought that would be terrific for Marina to be close to somebody because I didn't have time. I just couldn't, and I don't have any patience. When I see somebody is clicking right away I respond to advice, but she wasn't, you know. She was too slow, and we have too much problems with our own children.
Mr. Jenner. Who is too slow?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Marina. We had too many problems with our own children, and I was just tired of it, you know. After all, she was not my child. I did everything I could, so let somebody else take over and do something else because I was too busy, and we were planning this trip. George—through next month to Haiti actually to seal this contract. We had our heads busy with other things.
Mr. Jenner. What occurred during that evening? The movie was shown?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. We just showed the movie and discussed it, and the people asked different questions, peculiar questions about the life of Indians—or——
Mr. Jenner. About your trip?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. About our trip, and that was all.
Mr. Jenner. Weren't these people interested in Marina and Oswald?
