Kaor, Paul!
One think I remembered about James Bond was that he declined a knighthood recommended by the PM to the Queen. Not that he wasn't grateful for the honor offered him, but Bond thought it would make him too well known, too publicly conspicuous, and make him less effective as an agent.
Dominic Flandry, as we know, accepted a similar honor when offered him. I think for how he had scotched the Scothan threat.
