the legend of sleepy hollow- 第8部分

about　the　neighborhood　round　the　winter　evening　fire。　　The　bridge　

became　more　than　ever　an　object　of　superstitious　awe；　and　that　

may　be　the　reason　why　the　road　has　been　altered　of　late　years；　so　

as　to　approach　the　church　by　the　border　of　the　mill…pond。　　The　

schoolhouse　being　deserted　soon　fell　to　decay；　and　was　reported　

to　be　haunted　by　the　ghost　of　the　unfortunate　pedagogue　and

the　plough…boy；　loitering　homeward　of　a　still　summer　evening；　

has　often　fancied　his　voice　at　a　distance；　chanting　a　melancholy　

psalm　tune　among　the　tranquil　solitudes　of　Sleepy　Hollow。
