Experience of 007 Travelers: At home
“There was a second door leading into the room and as if on cue it opened to admit a Korean man, dressed as a waiter, carrying a silver tray with two cocktail glasses.
“I’m told that your favourite alcoholic drink is a martini cocktail,” Sin explained. “Three measures of Gordon’s, a little vermouth, a twist of lemon, the whole thing to be shaken, not stirred. It sounds to me a ridiculous amount of effort for what is, after all, no more than an inebriant, but as you are my guest I have endeavoured to satisfy you. Miss Lane will drink the same, I am sure.”
Bond took the drink and sipped it. It was ice cold, but unpleasant to taste, completely overpowered by too large a measure of vermouth. He said nothing but stored away the information that Sin lacked the expertise even to make a decent martini cocktail.”

“Sin broke off as the waiter returned with the dinner, a simple plate of steak, rice and salad. Bond felt the guards’ eyes boring into him as he picked up his knife. He was determined to eat. Apart from a sandwich and a glass of water brought to his cell at lunchtime, he’d had nothing in the past twenty-four hours and he would need his strength for whatever lay ahead. Sin had been served the same. “I hope you don’t mind if we talk and eat at the same time, Mr. Bond.”
“You are the one doing the talking.”
“Indeed so.” He turned to Jeopardy. “Do you have everything you need, Miss Lane?
“Yes, thank you.” She didn’t look up.
The waiter poured two glasses of wine to Bond and Jeopardy, placed the bottle on the table – another weapon? No, the guards were still too damned attentive – and left. Sin returned to his narrative.”
