Mrs. Gibson. I think Marina was appreciative.
Mr. Jenner. Discounting the difficulty of communication?
Mrs. Gibson. I had the feeling she was appreciative; yes. But she was exceedingly lazy. She would do nothing to help. The only thing she would do would be to take care of her child. She would do this, thank goodness, but otherwise she would do nothing to help. She wouldn't help with the dishes or clearing the table or preparing the meal, cleaning the apartment, anything pertaining to the extra work I had to do because she was there. Mrs. Hall had the same complaint.
Mr. Jenner. Mrs. Hall expressed this complaint to you?
Mrs. Gibson. Exactly the same complaint: that Marina slept very late, which she didn't do in my apartment but she did there, that she did not help with the house, that she didn't do anything really; just sat around and took care of the baby.
Mr. Jenner. Over this period—let me fix the period of time. You first met them, your present recollection is, sometime the latter part of August 1962. When was the last time you saw either of the Oswalds?
Mrs. Gibson. Well, when I returned a manuscript to Lee Oswald, it could have been either the end of November or the middle of December. I am not sure which.
Mr. Jenner. 1962?
Mrs. Gibson. 1962; that is right.
Mr. Jenner. Over this period of approximately, let us say, 3½ months in 1962, how many times did Marina stay in your home? You have given one occasion.
