When, at closing time, they were told they could stay only if they were representing a private club, one of the participants had the presence of mind to declare, “Well, we represent the Norwegian Club in London.” They jotted down some articles of association on a piece of paper, which they all signed, and that allowed them to carry on drinking -- Den Norske Klub was born. The first meetings took place every Thursday evening in a pub and the membership fee was fixed at 1 shilling per month.

Whilst out on her own one day, Crouch, approximately twenty years old at the time, accepted the advances of an older man who approached her on the street, allowing him to take her to a drinking den, where he bought her cakes to eat and alcohol to drink, ultimately leading to the man sleeping with Crouch and taking her virginity. Upon awakening, Crouch found the man had left her a five pound note — more money than she had ever seen. Crouch later said the encounter left her with "an instinctive horror of men". After her abrupt introduction to sex, Crouch did not return to her grandmother's home or that of her mother's, but rented a room for herself in Covent Garden.
