          OK, I think I have it, but don;t get the "Cope's" bit at all.

                Ah, OK.

                (I had the reward = drawer part, and the definition, but that Cope bit was making me think I must have it wrong.)

                      Hmmm.

                      Yes.

                      It's what I've got, but as I don't know why, I'll refrain from responding just yet.

                        Does it involve a bisexual dwarf orgy like in that Louis XIV romp on the BBC?

                          M.Parfumier: let's do a joint effort, then you can set next if we solve. I was going to guess at Modigliani, but wrong letter count.

                                    Aha!

                                    I'd gone round all the other definitions of "slug" I could muster (thump, mollusc, pest, billet of metal, etc. but didn't twig that one)

                                    Thanks.

                                            Years since I played the game, so I completely forgot how it works!

                                                    Yeah. Apologies, people. I'd completely forgotten you get "kings" in draughts as well as chess.
