"Remind me not to take Lucas next time the minister wants a detailed explanation of our plans,” Harry said.

“What ‘You need to use the carrot and stick approach’ Watkins?” Ros asked.  “What happened?”

“Lucas produced a number of penny-sized carrot pieces, each piece with a description on it.  He pushed them round the map he’d drawn using a stick.  The minister was not amused.”

Ros laughed.  “No, I don’t suppose he was.  But I don’t see he can complain.  Lucas was just explaining the plan.”

“He can’t, but I had the devil of a job keeping a straight face.”
