.......The Kremlin has hosted Mr.Bond

Xxx.

B.

And now you are just toying with poor little me.

What did you do with me operative Miss Octopussy? James was suppose to submit his : For Your Eyes Only report as soon as he returns.

I shall get Miss Moneypenny, who incidentally after our session on Friday has fallen head over heels in lust with me, to get hold of Mr Bond and haul him in on for some stern words. The man can be frustratingly slow in submitting reports.

On the other hand, he might just be in recovery mode still, contemplating how to phrase his response.

On a more serious note, I sincerely trust that a great time was had by all.

Even I am relieved that this meeting has taken place.

Best regards.

Peter

Peterbuck, I am, in fact, still in recovery. Your hunch is correct. I will submit my report when my strength returns.

Sigh...Mr.Bond

The Kremlin was impressed with your Western Diplomatic persuasive mannerisms.

I have been assigned to coax u back ...

Sounds interesting.
High stakes diplomacy a la the "Kitchen Debate" between Nikita Khrushchev and Richard Nixon.

Only there is no comparison betwixt the dour Khrushchev and the beautiful Bridget.

Mayhap Bridget can enlighten us as to the comparison betwixt the jowly Nixon and Mr. Bond.

Aaaaaah.......Prof. Layden.

How can one in any way compare Mr. Bond to Nixon?

Watergate defines Nixon,while so much more defines Mr. Bond.(Wink)

Very little was discussed.....not necessary. You see. I was instructed to leave politics to the politicians and scholars and debating any future relations was definitely not the time nor place in the candlelit surroundings we found ourselves in.

As to Mr. Bond.....the assignment was to seduce, please and coax back.

The rest is on a "need to know basis" and thus cannot divulge more.

But....

Care to share your opinions as to the "kitchen debate" downing a chilled glass of Vodka?

As a matter of interest, Nixon was vice president at that stage, and partly because of his good showing in the kitchen debates, he received the Republican nomination and became president.

Nikita went on to lose power.

Given the above, can we assume that Mr Bond made some inroads in corrupting the Russian defector ? Playing the long game in bringing her round to our capitalist way of life ?

Mr Bond has been known to partake in Vodka, particularly a Vodka Martini, shaken, not stirred....

As Mr Bond's handler (a title just bestowed upon myself by myself), I will instruct him to make a follow up appointment, and some more, to corrupt and turn Miss Octopussy.

Cheers

Aaaaah darling Peter....
Would have been better Nixon had stayed under the radar than tarnish his station and position . Sometimes some fools never learn.....he should have held hands with Nikita and did a hoppity skip into oblivian.

As to Mr. Bond. Now that is a gentleman in more ways than one.
You see.....political discussion is not one of his ways to meet favour with the ladies.
His subtle ways of persuasion in a candlelit room I need more of.

He is, oh so, addictive!!!

Xxx!
