I can tell what’s inside a person right away. “Not really, but there are boys who come over at night sometimes and try to club the cats to death.” I suggested the boys might just be prankish. My daughter asked if there really were police on the place. Don’t you love the overgrown Louisiana Bayou look?” “Oh, Mother thinks it’s artistic this way, like a Frank Lloyd Wright house. My little girl said it must be fun to live in a house where you never have to clean up. The Bouviers don’t like me at all, Mother says. “You see! Children sense it.” The woman clapped her hands in delight. “Did you think we care for animals here?” My daughter nodded solemnly. My little girl held out the box of bunnies. “Are you looking for Mother, too?” she asked, more unnerved than we. It struck me that she looked strangely familiar … like … like who? Her face was oddly young, as if suspended in time, faintly freckled and innocent, but painted with thick dark lipstick and heavy eyeliner. A middle-aged woman was coming through the catalpa trees, dressed for church but most oddly: a sweater wrapped around her head and her skirt on upside down. We whirled at the sound of the tremulous voice. Cats crouched all around in the overgrown grass, rattling in their throats, mean and wild. A hand-lettered sign hung from the door: Do Not Trespass, Police on the Place. We ducked under the ropes of bittersweet hanging from a pair of twisted catalpa trees and skittered past a 1937 Cadillac brooding in the tangled grasses to find ourselves at the tippy porch steps of Grey Gardens. This was how I described our visit at the time: One Sunday, she found a litter of baby rabbits left in a box in our driveway and begged to take them over there, since it was already home to dozens of cats. My family had rented a place across the street from what my then-7-year-old daughter called the Witch House. The musical Grey Gardens, which opens this week on Broadway, has triggered even more memories of when I first met the Beale ladies and went on to write the first story about them for this magazine, “The Secret of Grey Gardens.” It was the summer of 1971. I imagine seeing her again, the prisoner of Grey Gardens, freed by the postseason to appear in her black net bathing suit, perhaps perform an antic little dance, then streak down from the dunes trailing a long silk scarf and plunge into the embrace of waves.

When autumn riptides break free and sculpt a deranged shoreline out of the beaches of East Hampton, I often recall one of my last conversations with Little Edie Beale.
