Five evenings, added up in full
Start with the simplest. A reader at a canal-ring hotel books one hour on a Tuesday and hands over €180 when she arrives; that is the entire cost of the evening. A second reader, staying in a rented flat in the Jordaan, books two hours on a Saturday and pays €360, the same figure a Tuesday would have produced. A third books three unhurried hours to close a long week, and pays €540.
A fourth wants two women together for two hours, which is two women each fully occupied for the full time, and pays €720. The fifth books the whole night, eight hours from ten in the evening until breakfast, and pays €1,250 in one sum. None of these totals gains a line at the end. There is no travel charge, no supplement for the hour, no fee for towels, and no service percentage added to the bill.
