On Danielle
Danielle prefers the old cinemas: single screen, a curtain that still parts before the titles. Her bearing matches them. 170 cm and curvy; black hair, straight and long; brown eyes that hold a look a beat past the usual. Evening wear is dark and plain, a charcoal wrap dress, a narrow belt, one ring, and there is nothing theatrical in it. Rooms simply lower their voices when she sits down.
Late twenties. Calm, sophisticated, quietly magnetic: company that never needs to fill a silence and is happy to share one. Her English is precise and unhurried. Museums are a weekday habit, one room per visit, never the whole building, because the second room spoils the first. Poetry is the private habit. A slim volume lives in her coat pocket, and she will read you four lines when the moment is right, none when it is not.
Her evening in this part of town opens at the Curzon on Curzon Street, Mayfair's own cinema, with an early screening and seats chosen towards the back. Supper follows, close by, so the film can be taken apart while it is still warm. Expect her to defend the ending you disliked. Expect, too, to be persuaded, gently and with evidence, before the second glass.
Danielle lives in South Kensington, a single line on the Piccadilly from Green Park, and is happiest introduced in Mayfair. Screenings and suppers suit the three hour or dinner formats on the rates page, from £600 an hour. Octavia will hold her evening once you ask through booking.
// Octavia's noteDanielle likes a film before dinner. Tell me the evening and I will see what is showing on Curzon Street; three hours at £1,500 covers a screening and a proper supper.

As Danielle keeps it
She chooses the film in advance and tells you nothing about it on the way. Danielle meets you in the foyer ten minutes before the lights fall, orders nothing, and sits very still for the entire running time. Afterwards she needs a short silence, a slow walk along Curzon Street, before she is ready to talk. It is worth the wait. She notices what a director tucks into the corners of a frame and remembers which line of dialogue turned the story. Supper is low lit and near, a corner table if one can be had. She eats slowly and asks what you would have done in the hero's place. The night ends as calmly as it began, and the film follows you around for days afterwards, which she would call a compliment.
Three questions for Danielle
Never. Afterwards, for hours. A film deserves silence while it is happening and a good argument once it is over.
The Wallace Collection, for a room of armour I cannot explain liking. I go in for ten minutes and come out an hour later.
A line now and then, pencilled into the margins of other people's books. A terrible habit. I recommend it to everyone.
