“In his room at the Inter-Continental Hotel, at the northern end of Helsinki’s broad arterial Mannerheimintie, Bond tapped out the telephone number. It rang twice and a girl answered in Finnish.
Bond spoke in respectful English. – Paula Vacker, please.
Bond said he was at the Inter-Continental.
– Here? Here in Helsinki?’ She did not bother to disguise her pleasure.
– Yes,’ Bond confirmed, – here in Helsinki. Unless Finnair got it wrong.
– Finnair are like homing pigeons’, she said with a laugh.”
John Gardner: “Icebreaker”
