SHOT ON LOCATION AT LE MÉRIDIEN DALLAS, THE STONELEIGH. The life of a bell captain is ever intriguing, never dull. Service is our perpetual duty, discretion our call. The inner workings of an establishment depend greatly on someone who knows its surroundings intimately — and its patrons, even more so. One generally possesses a keen knowledge of all that is seen and unseen, both inside of chambers and out. A gentleman observes these peculiar instances without judgment and must be trusted safely with personal matters. No task is too menial, no request too great. You see, my dear voyeur, all of the guests who have remained in our lodgings rely on my good sense and judgment. Quite so. But I will share their stories with you now. STORIES Mrs. Brandolini was not effusive in her confession to Sister Bruna Pellessi — her constant travel companion — of having transported far too much luggage. Sixteen cases and a yellow canary in its cage were delivered upstairs immediately upon her arrival.
