I really don't believe Shelley and Lovelady stayed on the steps 3-4 minutes, or even believed they stayed that long. I also don't believe they spoke to Gloria Calvary while on the steps, either. From the looks of the post-assassination photo of Ms. Calvary and the other ladies, it's going to take them a few minutes, down by the pergola, to absorb everything they've just seen.
In fact, if you think about everything presented to us thus far, there is a very good chance Lovelady and Shelley didn't speak to Ms. Calvary at all, at least not on their way to the rail yard. The only way to make the Baker story of "15 seconds from the last shot til Baker is at the front door of the TSBD" work is to have Shelley and Lovelady on the steps, in the starting blocks, waiting for the third shot before they sprint off down the Elm St. extension, in time to have themselves filmed strolling at a leisurely pace while Baker runs past them.
But, are they walking down the Elm St. sidewalk to where Ms. Calvary and her friends are standing around in stunned silence? No, they are walking down the extension on the other side of the pergola and, from the looks of things, will be at the rail yard long before Ms. Calvary heads back up to the TSBD steps.
Now, from the pace these guys are moving, and considering they testified they only stayed at the rail yard a minute before a cop ordered them away, how much time elapsed from them leaving the steps until they were entering the loading dock door at the rear of the TSBD? Could it perhaps be almost the same amount of time it would take two young ladies to dash down the stairs from the 4th floor to the main floor in three-inch heels?

Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
