Petite companions, seven of them, measured in person and matched to the evening

Tina, 158 cm, alters her own jackets and files her soul and disco records by mood. Jasmin, 160 cm, takes salsa class on Tuesdays and can explain a classic cocktail in one sentence. Rosa, 160 cm, bakes bread on Saturdays and keeps a sourdough starter with a name of its own. Lea, 161 cm and the only redhead here, studies interiors and throws pots.

Sonya, 162 cm and hazel eyed, has danced since childhood and names a fragrance at a distance. Lucy, 163 cm, dark curls worn long, is out running by the Thames at dawn and knows her way around the night sky. Tiffany, chocolate brown hair worn loose, carries a small camera, silent shutter, everywhere she goes.

Small, well made rooms suit this page. Jasmin's evening opens in The Stafford's American Bar, at the end of its quiet lane in St James's. Tina's heads for Bar Américain, downstairs from Brasserie Zédel. Sonya's table is at Wiltons on Jermyn Street. Rosa takes tea at Fortnum & Mason, a short walk from Dover Street. Lea chooses The Wolseley on Piccadilly after a play, Lucy a window above Green Park, and Tiffany the lamplit lanes of Shepherd Market in Mayfair.

For dancing, Jasmin. For a cocktail with its history explained, Tina or Jasmin. For tea and something just out of the oven, Rosa. For a play and a late supper, Lea. For a formal dining room and a quiet voice, Sonya. For a clear night and a long view, Lucy. For lamplit lanes and a glass of vintage champagne, Tiffany. When your plan fits none of these, describe it and Octavia will find the match.

Some guests ask for a petite companion by name, and a plain answer is kinder than a guess made from a photograph. The heights on this page were taken when Octavia met each woman. They are not borrowed from a portfolio, and they are not rounded down.

Six of the seven are brunettes; Lea is auburn and red. Rosa is also curvaceous, Sonya and Tina are toned and athletic, and Lucy is slim and slender as well. Four of the seven are in their early twenties; Sonya is in her thirties.

The hour is £600 with any of the seven. Jasmin and Tina are natural choices for the late invitation, the night out Octavia arranges around a cocktail bar in St James's, and rates lists every longer arrangement. Message Octavia through booking with the name you have settled on and the hour, and her confirmation follows in writing.
