Abruptly, he turned and sat down. The audience... suddenly realized that this was it, that Joseph had finished, and had thrown down the gauntlet. (S. Heym, ‘The Eyes of Reason’, book I, ch. 11) — Он тут же повернулся и сел. Публика, на одно мгновение оцепеневшая, поняла, что Иозеф кончил говорить, бросив перчатку своему противнику.

I was glad to see that the theatre journal Encore has taken up the gauntlet flung down recently by critic Kenneth Tynan. Tynan, you may remember, asserted... that so little in ten years seems to have changed. (‘Daily Worker’) — я был рад, когда театральный журнал "Энкор" поднял перчатку, брошенную ему недавно критиком Кеннетом Тайнаном. Тайнан, как вы помните, утверждал... что за последние десять лет в театре мало что изменилось.
