Mrs. Grant. No; he was engaged to a young lady here.
Mr. Hubert. What generally was his attitude toward women; do you know?
Mrs. Grant. Well, in his late life I think he was sort of a playboy myself, but in his early life he wanted to get married. There were several individuals he had a great love for and the trouble is, he picked on women who were of means and he couldn’t give them what they wanted. He could tell from the way they were reared or their attitude, and how they expressed themselves when they get married—what they wanted, and I think it sort of cooled him toward making it. He liked women. He was a real man.
Mr. Hubert. I understood he took good care of himself physically?
Mrs. Grant. Yes.
Mr. Hubert. In the sense that he took physical exercise regularly?
Mrs. Grant. And the truth is, he has a great sympathy for women who are left with hardships and maybe it started with me or my mother—if they have to work and do a lot of things—it was in the back of his mind.
Mr. Hubert. Jack didn’t drink very much, did he?
Mrs. Grant. He didn’t drink a fifth of liquor a year. When we went out, we ordered two drinks, I would drink mine and have to drink two-thirds of his. Then, we were ashamed to sit there and he would order it again—not that I’m such a big drinker, but that’s what he did.
Mr. Hubert. What about smoking—he didn’t smoke either, did he?
