冒险姆维奇骨头，谁取得鉴于舞动黑森州
作为詹森赛马。他申明，一晚就返回从
周边村的唱，他已经超越了

一碗冲床，而且应该赢得它也为决死队
哥卜林马所有空心，但就像他们来到教堂
大桥，黑森州螺栓，并消失在闪光火灾。
所有这些故事，说在这困倦与耳语
男人在黑暗中说，该countenances的听众现在才
然后收到了休闲闪光的眩光的管道，沉没
深藏在心中Ichabod 。他偿还他们的实物大
摘录了宝贵的作者，棉花马瑟，并补充说
许多了不起的事件，发生在他的国家

This story was immediately matched by a thrice marvellous
adventure of Brom Bones, who made light of the Galloping Hessian
as an arrant jockey. He affirmed that on returning one night from
the neighboring village of Sing Sing, he had been overtaken by
this midnight trooper; that he had offered to race with him for a
bowl of punch, and should have won it too, for Daredevil beat the
goblin horse all hollow, but just as they came to the church
bridge, the Hessian bolted, and vanished in a flash of fire.
All these tales, told in that drowsy undertone with which
men talk in the dark, the countenances of the listeners only now
and then receiving a casual gleam from the glare of a pipe, sank
deep in the mind of Ichabod. He repaid them in kind with large
extracts from his invaluable author, Cotton Mather, and added
many marvellous events that had taken place in his native State
of Connecticut, and fearful sights which he had seen in his
nightly walks about Sleepy Hollow.
