cove and key
b. cove and key: closet or chamber and key; an ancient legal phrase used by Bracton in reference to the functions and rights of the mistress of a house, from the age of fourteen or fifteen. Obsolete.In the 1569 ed. of Bracton, erroneously printed cone and key; repeated in Spelman and the Law dictionaries, as well as in the Rolls ed. of Bracton. The manuscripts have clearly coue; MS. Rawlinson C. 158 has cleue and key (see cleve n. chamber, bed-room, closet = 1a); MS. Rawl. C. 159 has cofre, apparently altered from cofe. See W. H. Stevenson in Academy, 17 May 1890, 338. (It is not perfectly clear whether cove, cleve closet here meant ‘bed-chamber’ or ‘store-chamber’.)
