The incipit of a piece in the Daily Mail:
Boris Johnson risked more confrontation with David Cameron yesterday by saying he would be prepared to serve as prime minister.
Asked where he would be in 2020, he compared himself to an ancient Roman consul who freely gave up his dictatorial powers: ‘I will have returned to my plough,’ said London’s mayor.
But he then said he would serve ‘if like Cincinnatus I was summoned from my plough’.
… nice use of the future perfect there too …
