On the night of January 31st, 1910, an American couple living in London named Belle and Dr. Harpy Crippen were hosting a small dinner party for two of their friends. The group had just finished their food and they were now in the middle of a game called Whist, which is a card game, when suddenly Belle put her cards down and she stood up to tell a story.
And Dr. Crippen saw his wife doing this and kind of knew what was going to happen. And he kind of gestured for her to not tell the story and please sit down and play this game. But she just kind of waved at him dismissively, like, please leave me alone. I'm going to do what I want to do. Dr. Crippen sighed and just kind of sat back and let this happen.
Anywhere they went, he knew his wife had to be the center of attention and there was just nothing he could do. Dr. Crippen was a pretty passive guy who kind of got walked all over, especially by his wife. He was kind of little, he had big bulging eyes and huge glasses he wore, and his job was he basically sat inside of a dentist's office and mixed medicines for the dentist.
And so he was just kind of like this anonymous forgotten about guy that worked in a back office hidden from the world. Meanwhile, his wife, Belle, is like this beautiful woman, huge personality. She's an aspiring actress and singer and everywhere they went, everybody loved her and basically didn't notice Dr. Crippen.
Also, Belle would basically spend all of Dr. Crippen's money on her very expensive wardrobe. And so Dr. Crippen is just so annoyed. He's sitting on the couch and he's watching as Belle has now stood up in her big flowing pink evening dress. And she's regaling the guests with this big story of hers.
