Slim and slender: ten names, with the heights beside them

Violetta at 178 cm is thirty, black haired and sleek, and reads Victorian engineering for pleasure. Stacy at 176 cm is twenty two, near black brown, and climbs things she was told not to. Karolina at 174 cm is twenty seven, black haired, unhurried, and has opinions about the architecture she walks past.

Samanta is also 174 cm, twenty seven, dark brown, reads contracts for pleasure and boxes at six in the morning. Dinner is her format, at £900 across four hours or £700 across three.

Vanessa is 173 cm, twenty five, sandy brown with balayage, hazel eyed, and thinks in timetables; an evening after a flight works inside £500 over two hours. She covers the E16 hotels out at the docks.

Patricia is 172 cm, twenty eight, auburn brown, and takes the river version of an evening: the wall in the dark, a single malt, a table with nobody watching the clock, at £700 across three hours. She works Wapping as well as E14.

Cindy is 168 cm, twenty six, blonde worn wavy, blue eyed, and the one woman on the board who genuinely prefers daylight; the Greenwich version of her evening wants three hours at £700. Liana is 167 cm, twenty eight, chestnut brown, and drinks one gin six floors above the Bank junction with a completely unsentimental view of it.

Margo is 166 cm, thirty one, dark brown, entirely unbothered and always five minutes early. Dinner fits her: four hours at £900, with the conversation given proper room.

Lucy is the smallest in this column at 163 cm, twenty four, with long dark brown hair worn curly and brown eyes. She takes the corner seat, sings badly, likes old buildings and quiet pubs, and has no interest in the view from a lift. A long sit and a walk suit two hours at £500; add supper and it becomes three at £700. She is the name to ask for when the plan is small and you would rather say so.

If the evening is a client table or a reception, the six at the top are the obvious names and the format for it sits on after hours. If the evening is a long conversation in one room, start at the bottom of the page and work up.

By colouring, two of the ten are in raven haired, one in blondes, one in auburn and six in brunettes. By age, Stacy and Lucy are in early twenties and Margo and Violetta in thirties. Send Maude the date and the hour and the sequence runs as it does on booking.
