See how naturally it fits his hand!

“Nelly’s fingers tighten on the silver-braided hilt: see how naturally it fits his hand! He pulls. The Sword of Britain slides from its stone sheath. The ease with which this is accomplished shines in the wonder in Nelly’s eyes. He truly cannot believe what he has done. Nor can he comprehend what it means.”
(With apologies to Stephen R. Lawhead).

“I've always been a bit puzzled about that story. What's so hard about pulling a sword out of a stone? The real work's already been done. You ought to make yourself useful and find the man who put the sword in the stone in the first place, eh? There.”
(Terry Pratchett).
