The old man brandish his walking stick at the menace dog
For if he saw a dog on the road-- a mad dog, mangy dog, or guard-dog -- he would brandish his sword and fell it with a single blow, taking the dog's head back home with him, where he would serve it up as an accompaniment to a good bottle of Shaoxing wine.
Rather than release his inner dove, the Nobel Peace Prize may force him to brandish his public hawk.
