Mr. Ball. Oh, he did?
Miss Mumford. Yes.
Mr. Ball. He ate at every bus stop?
Miss Mumford. Yes. I never saw him ordering. I took it that he didn't speak the language, but he always managed to order himself a large meal, because he never seemed to get it over to them what he wanted.
Mr. Ball. What gave you the impression that he did not speak the language?
Miss Mumford. Well, simply that on arriving on the bus he told us—when we had boarded the bus he had told us that he had turned to the English gentleman and asked "I wonder how you say 'Can I help you' in Spanish."
Mr. Ball. You told him when he came back to talk to you that you had had a friend travel in Russia?
Miss Mumford. Yes.
Mr. Ball. And you say you had mentioned her experiences. What did you tell him about that?
Miss Mumford. Well, we said that she had come back and told us that Moscow was a beautiful city and she had gathered the impression that they were being taken on a tour and shown only what they wanted to be shown.
