What happens here in the book: Bond is having a lunch with Ian Fleming here
“Fleming had chosen Bertorelli’s Italian restaurant in Charlotte Street for their meeting – a change from Scott’s: none of those silver tankards of black velvet, no grilled plaice. They had the plat du jour, an ambiguous wartime stew called spezzatino, and half a bottle of Valpolicella. It was a strange background in which to be asked to kill a man. Not that Fleming used the word ‘kill’. He said, ‘deal with’. It was all arranged and shouldn’t be too difficult. But there must be absolutely no mistakes. There was a fearful lot at stake. Fleming poured himself the last of the Valpollicela and started to explain his task.”
John Pearson: “James Bond, the Authorized Biography of 007” (1973)
