entered the choir, and here Sir Ector took a holy book and bade Sir Kay
swear how he came by that sword. 'My brother Arthur gave it to me,'
replied Sir Kay. 'How did you come by it?' asked Sir Ector, turning to
Arthur. 'Sir,' said Arthur, 'when I rode home for my brother's sword I
found no one to deliver it to me, and as I resolved he should not be
swordless I thought of the sword in this stone, and I pulled it out.'
'Were any Knights present when you did this?' asked Sir Ector. 'No,
none,' said Arthur. 'Then it is you,' said Sir Ector, 'who are the
rightful King of this land.' 'But why am I the King?' inquired Arthur.
'Because,' answered Sir Ector, 'this is an enchanted sword, and no man
could draw it but he who was born a King. Therefore put the sword back
into the stone, and let me see you take it out.' 'That is soon done,'
said Arthur replacing the sword, and Sir Ector himself tried to draw it,
but he could not. 'Now it is your turn,' he said to Sir Kay, but Sir Kay
fared no better than his father, though he tugged with all his might and
main. 'Now you, Arthur,' and Arthur pulled it out as easily as if it had
been lying in its sheath, and as he did so Sir Ector and Sir Kay sank on
their knees before him.
