Mrs. Paine.

He didn't call at all, and she said to me as the time for normally calling passed, "He thinks he is punishing me."

Mr. Jenner.

For what?

Mrs. Paine.

For having been a bad wife, I would judge, for having done something he didn't want her to do, the objection.

Mr. Jenner.

To wit, the telephone call about which you have told us?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you and Marina go through a normal day that day, or was there any other subject of discussion with respect to Lee Oswald on that day?

Mrs. Paine.

Nothing I would specifically recall; no.

Mr. Jenner.

This was the 20th of November, a Wednesday?

Mrs. Paine.

To the best of my recollection.

Mr. Jenner.

Let's proceed with the 21st. Did anything occur on the 21st with respect to Lee Harvey Oswald, that is a Thursday?

Mrs. Paine.

I arrived home from grocery shopping around 5:30, and he was on the front lawn. I was surprised to see him.

Mr. Jenner.

You had no advance notice?

Mrs. Paine.

I had no advance notice and he had never before come without asking whether he could.

Mr. Jenner.

Never before had he come to your home in that form without asking your permission to come?

Mrs. Paine.

Without asking permission; that is right.

Mr. Jenner.

And he was out on the lawn as you drove up, on your lawn?

Mrs. Paine.

That is right. Playing with June and talking with Marina, who was also out on the lawn.

Mr. Jenner.

And you were, of course, surprised to see him?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you park your car in the driveway as usual?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you walk over to speak with him?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes, got out, very likely picked some groceries out of the car and he very likely picked some up too, and this is I judge what may have happened.

Mr. Jenner.

Tell the Commission what was said between you and Lee Oswald?

Mrs. Paine.

Between me and Lee Oswald?

Mr. Jenner.

Yes; on that occasion.

Mrs. Paine.

That is not what I recall. I recall talking with Marina on the side.

Mr. Jenner.

First. Didn't you greet him?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes; I greeted him.

Mr. Jenner.

And then what did you do, walk in the house?

Mrs. Paine.

As we were walking in the house, and he must have preceded because Marina and I spoke in private to one another, she apologized.

Mr. Jenner.

Was Marina out on the lawn also?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes, sir. She apologized for his having come without permission and I said that was all right, and we said either then or later--I recall exchanging our opinion that this was a way of making up the quarrel or as close as he could come to an apology for the fight on the telephone, that his coming related to that, rather than anything else.

Mr. Jenner.

That was her reaction to his showing up uninvited and unexpectedly on that particular afternoon, was it?

Mrs. Paine.

Well, it was rather my own, too.

Mr. Jenner.

And it was your own?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And because of this incident of the telephone call and your not being able to reach him, and the subsequent talk between Lee and Marina in which there had been some anger expressed, you girls reached the conclusion the afternoon of November 21 that he was home just to see if he could make up with Marina?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Do I fairly state it?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.
