Mr. Pic. Yes, sir; she could always buy and sell a house some way or other.

Mr. Jenner. What was your impression as to why she was doing this; to impress you boys or was that just her fixation or personality trait?

Mr. Pic. It is my impression that she did it in order to make a profit on every deal she got involved with.

Mr. Jenner. I am not thinking of a house sale as such. But that question was more directed to her talking about her financial circumstances.

Was she attempting to impress you boys that she was working herself to the bone to support you and you should be more grateful than you appeared to be, and that sort of thing?

Mr. Pic. That is practically verbatim, sir.

Mr. Jenner. Please; you say that is practically verbatim, you mean you have uttered what was in her mind?

Mr. Pic. No; just about what she says. She said at those times.

Mr. Jenner. Were you under the impression that she was overstating in that respect?

Mr. Pic. Yes, sir.
