Glossary

The words an evening for two is actually arranged in

Short definitions for the terms that turn up between a message written on a Monday and a door closing again on a Thursday, written the way the house applies them.

  • Outcall

    Outcall means the therapist makes the journey to the room the two of you are already in, so neither partner has to cross the city again after a working day.

  • Arrival window

    The arrival window is the forty to sixty minutes between a confirmed booking and a knock at your door, the same figure in every central neighbourhood.

  • Deposit

    The deposit is half of whichever figure matches your arrangement, settled once the hour is agreed in writing, and it is the first half of the fee itself.

  • Balance at the door

    The balance is the second half of the fee, handed over once on arrival by whichever partner is nearest the door, and it is the last time money comes up.

  • Cancellation and refunds

    What stays behind when an evening is called off depends on how much warning your message gives, not on how close the hour was, and damages never come into it.

  • False bookings

    A false booking is one placed under a name or number belonging to someone else, or sent as a joke, and a no-show after an honest booking is not one of them.

  • Overnight

    An overnight is a fixed eight hour block with both ends written into the confirmation, and it is EUR 2,500 for two guests with one therapist.

  • Twenty-one or over

    Everyone in the room has to be twenty-one or over, the partner who wrote and the partner who did not, and a document may be asked for at the door.

  • Duration ladder

    Lengths run one hour, ninety minutes, two hours and three, with each further hour added at the same rate, and two guest figures double the single ones.

  • A therapist each

    A therapist each means two women in the room and two sessions running side by side, which fits the same evening into roughly half the elapsed time.

  • The free evening

    The free evening is the one night of a working week with nothing printed against it, and on most trips a couple gets exactly one of them.

  • Conference week

    A conference week is one of the large trade weeks that fill the city, and it counts as a peak date, so an evening inside one is worth fixing early.

  • The booking thread

    The booking thread is the single written conversation where the date, the hour, the length, the figure and the address are all agreed and kept in one place.

  • By arrangement at Schiphol

    A room at Schiphol or at an airport hotel sits outside the ordinary arrival window and is arranged on its own footing, with the journey time agreed first.
