Once when I was 12 my cousin Isabel and I were playing in my backyard. We were playing at General Hospital and nothing untoward was happenng (I was playing as a nurse named Brenda while Isabel pretended to be some famous patient). Sudennly, from the fence next door, we started hearing a female voice saying “Look Henry, the dirty bugger is sticking it in her” repeatedly. We were shocked and this continued for a few minutes until we decided to look who was saying these things. Well, we were just in time to see Barbara Bel Geddes entering the house with our old neighbour Henry - who was nearly blind. Later he complained to my parents, who, strangely enough believed him over “Brenda”. I had a difficult time coming out a few years later, all due to “Miss Ellie”…
