M’s loyal secretary Miss Moneypenny named after a farm in Kent? It would appear more than probable. And it seems appropriate the Hammonds, the married couple who acted as housekeepers for M, the head of British Intelligence and 007’s chief, at his country home ‘Quarterdeck’, were seemingly named after an old Queen Anne building. Honeychile Rider, Fleming’s Venus-like heroine in the novel DR. NO, may also have been christened after a farm on the Romney Marsh, a far cry from the sun soaked laughing waters of a Jamaican beach. And also on the map a few miles from Sandwich, coincidentally, there’s even a small village near Staple called Flemings! |
