    Book Live and Let Die
    Her face was pale,with the pallor of white families that have lived long in the tropics.
    But it contained no trace of the usual exhaustion which the tropics impart to the skin and hair.

    So do we just say the character, or the situation too?

    I believe that was Solitaire as described by the 3rd person omniscient narrator.

    That's ok, I knew it was Solitaire, but I didn't want to post unless I needed more details.

    OK, sorry it took so long, but here it is.

    "Okay, Jack. I been looking for a chance to take a poke at the gang. I don't like being leaned on, and they been leaning on me and some of my friends for too long. Hold tight. Here we go!"

    Taxi driver Cureo to Bond before they set out to escape the Jaguar?

    That didn't take long! 10 bones to Campbell2.

    I wonder if, in the interest of increasing the difficulty, we might simply offer the quote without naming the book from which it is ripped?

    Yes, could be more interesting. I immediately thought of Cureo but DAF made me pretty sure to fire. Let's see:

    'All right.' X now talked in the soft, tired voice of an overworked man in the service of his Government. It was the voice of the specialist in a particular line of law enforcement. It said that he knew most things connected with that line and that he could make a good guess at all the rest.

    I'll give the book if/when peeps keep guessing wrong.

    I read that one last week - Colonel Smithers from Goldfinger! Answering Bond's query about gold smuggling.

    Ok, I love this passage:-

    "[...] climbed into the boat and settled herself with her knees hunched decorously between Bond's outstretched legs, and Bond slid the heavy, narrowbladed oars into their wooden rowlocks and began rowing at a powerful, even pace [...]"

    That would most certainly be the incomparable Kissy Suzuki in 'You Only Live Twice.'

    Thank you.

    "______'s body weighed about twenty stone. It had once been all muscle—he had been an amateur weightlifter in his youth—but in the past ten years it had softened and he had a vast belly that he concealed behind roomy trousers and well-cut double-breasted suits, tailored, that evening, out of beige doeskin."

    I'm going to leave this one to someone else, but will PM SKoH with my answer as I want to give someone else a go at setting a question...

    @JCRendle's secret answer is correct, but the character is still open for anyone else to guess.

    Neither that character nor that book, I'm afraid.
