Dagger in hand

A man of prodigious fortune, coming to add his opinion to some light discussion that was going on casually at his table, began precisely thus: "It can only be a liar or an ignoramus who will say otherwise than," and so on. Pursue that philosophical point, dagger in hand.

--Michel de Montaigne, Of the art of discussion.

Well, according to this article, we can expect a U.S. edition in September. Why it takes four more months to translate into English than French, God only knows. Geez guys, I told you I'd do it for free! She'd be on amazon by now! I hope the delay is because she has something particular she wants to say to an American audience. That's the only thing that would justify it.
