Since I didn't want to give away the answer (for those in threaded mode), in the title itself. But if my memory serves me well, this, one of my favourite Bond lines, is from the otherwise not too brilliant Fleming work: Diamonds are forever. It is, I think, both a quotation, and a chapter title (about three chapters before the end), and refers to the close quarters onboard the QE2 that Bond and Tiffany (wasn't it?) find themselves in, when their affair finally begins (or is consummated, depending upon which way you look at it).

I think she wins his approval by the way she makes sauce bearnaise...
