Mantle

( The Boy and the ). One day, a little boy presented himself before King Arthur, and showed him a curious mantle “which would become no wife that was not leal” to her true lord. The queen tried it on, but it changed its color and fell into shreds; Sir Kay’s lady tried it on, but with no better succe ; others followed, but only Sir Cradock’s wife could wear it.—Percy, Reliques .
