A guest who wants the evening fixed long before travel, and the language of it settled as well, finds that easy with her. She speaks French, German and English with equal ease. De Pijp is where she lives, a short ride from the canals. Tantra and erotic oil are the formats guests put to her in advance, usually at ninety minutes. She is twenty-six and fair. Her limits, and what the evening includes, are hers to say on arrival. Every figure on her rate card is in euros and already includes all taxes, so a guest planning from another currency only has to allow for the rate his own card applies. The half sent ahead goes by card as a rule, and the thread gives Claire's exact amount and the payment details once the date is agreed, and not before. The second half is handed over at the door, and notes in another major currency are fine provided the exact sum was confirmed in writing before she left.

Claire decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.
