Brother Cadfael:
[reviewing the death of Godfrid Picard] A man dies, strangled... yet he was armed. And he'd had time to draw his dagger... to draw but not strike; it lay by his side, unbloodied. Now those who kill with their hands do so because they have no other weapon.

Hugh Beringar:
Who, then? Who would engage with an armed man with nothing but his bare hands? None but a fool.

Brother Cadfael:
[pause, then] Or one with little left to lose.
