How Is Belinda's Night With the Horse and Jockey Receptionist Different From the Clients?

In "The Night Receptionist," Belinda decides this pleasure is for her and for her only. Jamie, James, and Alice contrast it with Peter Rouse and the other clients, whose encounters were tied to Steele's Pots and Pans. This one is not. The book says there are no business deals and no reputations to lose or offend, "just a plain, simple fucking session," and calls it a perfect way to end a busy working day. Jamie, James, and Alice note she has had busier days, but they treat this as the rare scene that is not a sales call. It is also where the chapter ends.
