There was something else too. Why<br />
did no <strong>one</strong> think to mention that Van<br />
Garretts are kith <strong>and</strong> kin to <strong>the</strong> Van<br />
Tassels?<br />
KATRINA<br />
Why, because <strong>the</strong>re is hardly a<br />
household in <strong>Sleepy</strong> <strong>Hollow</strong> that is<br />
not connected to every o<strong>the</strong>r by<br />
blood or marriage. I have more<br />
cousins than fingers <strong>and</strong> toes to<br />
count <strong>the</strong>m on.<br />

The Van Garretts were <strong>the</strong> richest<br />
family round <strong>the</strong>se parts even <strong>the</strong>n.<br />
When my fa<strong>the</strong>r brought us to <strong>Sleepy</strong><br />
<strong>Hollow</strong>, Van Garrett set him up with<br />
an acre <strong>and</strong> a broken-down cottage,<br />
<strong>and</strong> a dozen <strong>of</strong> Van Garrett hens. My<br />

house. I owe my happiness to him. I<br />
remember living poor in <strong>the</strong> cottage.<br />

ICHABOD<br />
Yes. I would like to see where you<br />
were as poor as I am.<br />
Katrina st<strong>and</strong>s up, revealing a Book that had been on <strong>the</strong> floor, hidden<br />
by her skirt. She picks up <strong>the</strong> book <strong>and</strong> gives it to <strong>Ichabod</strong>.<br />
KATRINA<br />
Take this. It is my gift for you.<br />

Keep it close to your heart. It is<br />
sure protection against harm.<br />

Are you so certain <strong>of</strong> everything?<br />
Their eyes meet <strong>and</strong> hold for a moment. <strong>Ichabod</strong> accepts <strong>the</strong> book by<br />
placing it on <strong>the</strong> desk.<br />
EXT. FIELDS -- DAY (EARLY MORNING)<br />
<strong>Ichabod</strong> <strong>and</strong> Katrina make a pretty picture on horseback, riding slowly<br />

EXT. SLEEPY HOLLOW FARMLAND -- DAY (EARLY MORNING)<br />
<strong>Ichabod</strong> <strong>and</strong> Katrina, riding, come upon <strong>the</strong> ruin <strong>of</strong> a cottage. There is<br />
almost nothing left but <strong>the</strong> hearth <strong>and</strong> a part <strong>of</strong> a chimney.<br />
