One line of the ledger
Fifteen brunettes: the longest column in the ledger
Fifteen of the twenty eight, which makes this the longest column here and the least useful on its own. Brown covers an enormous amount of ground: light brown with the ends lifted by sun, chestnut, dark brown worn straight or curly, chocolate, espresso, and one shade near enough to black to be worth arguing about. So it is broken into four below.
Cross it with a figure column or an age band and fifteen becomes four or five, which is a list you can actually read on a phone. Every one of them starts at £250 for an hour, on rates.

Light brown, with sun in the ends
Bianka is twenty three, 165 cm and curvy, hazel eyed, with long light brown hair the sun has got at; she orders for the table and finishes her sentences in her own time. Laura is twenty five, 169 cm, athletic, green eyed, and would rather be outdoors first, which sets her start time against the sunset. Vanessa is twenty five, 173 cm, slim, sandy brown with balayage and hazel eyes, and thinks in timetables and approach lights. Bianka works the City of London; Laura and Vanessa work E16 as well as E14.
Chestnut
Jasmin is the smallest of the three at 160 cm, twenty two, petite, and the last person in any room to run out of things to say; late starts suit her and she asks for them. Liana is twenty eight, 167 cm, slim, and holds an unsentimental view of the Bank junction from six floors above it. Rosa is twenty five, 160 cm and curvy, with chestnut curls, a Tuesday choir and the best laugh in a hundred seat room. Three quite different evenings out of a single shade.
Dark brown
Six here, and the widest spread of ages on the board. Lucy is twenty four and 163 cm, dark curls, no interest whatsoever in the view from a lift. Molly is twenty four, 164 cm, curvy, and photographs buildings at night with no agenda attached to it. Michelle is twenty seven and 173 cm and makes a table of strangers relax. Samanta is twenty seven, 174 cm, slim, and misses nothing at either end of a room. Margo is thirty one, 166 cm, and always five minutes early. Sonya is thirty two, 162 cm, athletic, with a dancer's posture and no patience at all for a loud room.
Chocolate, espresso and near black
The dark end of the column. Tiffany is twenty four, 169 cm, chocolate brown, and is already on a terrace above EC3 at six while the rest of the square mile is still finishing. Tina is the smallest woman on the board at 158 cm, twenty six, athletic, espresso brown, and rows on the tideway before most people are awake. Stacy is twenty two, 176 cm, slim, near black brown, and has been up towers that other people had talked her out of. Three shades that photograph almost the same and read quite differently across a table.
Narrowing fifteen
Cross the column. Six of these fifteen also stand in petite and four in statuesque. Three are in toned and six in slim and slender. If age is the measure that matters to you, six are in early twenties and two in thirties.
Or describe the evening to Maude and let the list come back at three names rather than fifteen. The formats are on after hours and the order of events is on booking.
Send the room and the hour
Write the district, the time and the length of the booking. The desk answers with a name and an arrival window, and the evening is set.
