A national housecall service connected me with a guest
at the Montage in Beverly Hills. She was suffering the flu; I told her I’d
arrive in half an hour.
As soon as I hung up, I realized, to my dismay, that I
had quoted my usual fee, forgetting that the housecall service takes a 40
percent cut. The Montage is a super-luxury hotel, and the guest was probably
rich, but I couldn’t change the fee.
I was in luck. Not one but three guests in the room had the flu, so it worked out.
