Now, we've offered this carrot, as I say, we've dangled the carrot.

From my window, I watched the Rubbish Gangster shaven head, bull neck, and swollen nose, from which dangled mucus incrusted strands of hair, his short arms bursting with criminal power.

The solution was a modified primus stove (designed by a friend of Andrée's) that could be dangled 8 m (26 ft) below the crew and then lit from the basket, at a safe distance.
