Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I had both girls for a while. You know, she
eloped, his little girl.
Mr. JENNER. And married Gary Taylor?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; and I wanted to break that marriage right
away, and get her back in school, and spank her--really tough. But the
parents of the boy said give the kids a chance and this and that. It
was no love--it was just delinquency. She didn't know who I was. She
thought I will be easy going--knowing her father, she thought I was
easy going. And all of a sudden she came in. She had to study, she had
to be home at a certain time, every boy she is out with I have to meet
first. So she couldn't possibly--I talked to her just last year. I
said, "Tell me frankly, you wanted to live with us, and you thought I
would be very easy. And you certainly didn't like the way I was strict
with you."
But I was strict with my daughter, also. And she was older than she
was. And she would not go out until she brought the young man to
introduce. And then she asked us, and she was very respectful to my
present husband.
