mantle

Following Violet’s passing, Isobel has taken up the mantle to organize the county fair — a job that comes with some challenges.

Wiese says Folds was the ideal person to “take the mantle” from Guaraldi: “He brings a modern thing and his lyrics are so poetic; on his albums he always touches your heart.”

But that is the mantle he took on, according to court transcripts that were not widely reported at the time.

“At the end of the day, the award sits on their mantle, not ours. It will never be in my office.”

Woakes prefers the idea of being the "senior" bowler, a mantle inherited when James Anderson retired last summer.
