NAME THAT LITERARY CHARACTER FROM IAN FLEMING's JAMES BOND NOVELS
Literary aficionados — in order to provide us with some fun in the run up to the launch of Anthony Horowitz's new Bond novel, I would like to propose a game of name that character.
In order that it is accessible, fluid and not too obscure, there are three simple rules:
1) The character must be a main from a full length Ian Fleming James Bond (not a short story or a continuation novel).
1) You must name the novel concerned.
2) You have to quote directly from that novel.
In order to set the game in motion, I would offer up the first challenge:
From: "OHMSS"
Quote: "She looked like a very sunburned female warders. She had a square brutal face with hard yellow eyes".
NAME THAT CHARACTER.

It is "Irma La not so Douce".
Fleming's full introduction of Fraulein Irma Bunt went on to say; "Her smile was an oblong hole without humour or welcome, and there were sunburn blisters at the left corner of her mouth which she licked from time to time with the tip of a pale tongue ..."
A great example of his descriptive powers.
There has been much discussion about the return of Blofeld in SPECTRE. I wonder if the good Fraulein will be with him?
Anyway, a full ten points to the great Mrcoggins and:
THE NEXT QUESTION IS?
Quote: "As a matter of fact, I think it's only a passing phase but it is rather bad luck on you getting caught up in it before it's passed. You know he's always apt to get bees in his bonnet about the efficiency of the service."
Who said it = 5 points
To who = 5 points
About what = 5 bonus points
Who said it?
To who?
About what?
Now, who said it?
Your answer is?
Don't let I go to your head Son. :)
Said by Sluggsy Morant to Viv Michelle in Spy.
How's thems for credentials?
;)
If one person asks the questions, then the game comes to a halt when they're not online.
As @Birdleson correctly answered the last question, then he can provide the next line of a Fleming quote.
Absolutely brilliant!
Anybody can pose a question but try and stick to the protocol:
1) Name The Book.
2) Use the exact quote from Fleming.
I will have a bash
Book. Casino Rroyale
She would have been desirable but for eyes which were cool and direct and quizzical .
Have at it chaps.
Also, I'm pretty sure Bond found her desirable, eyes and all.
Well done so it's over to you.
Quote: [...], who had been a silent passenger for most of the evening and who had the look of a man caught in a cage with a couple of tigers...
Just gave it to someone who knows his name haha
EDIT: Damn I'm thinking of Diamonds Are Forever... :(
=D> Well done, @Mrcoggins calls it!
Mrcoggins = 20 points (great catch with Moonraker).
Birdleson = 15 points
JC Rendle =10 points.
