Indeed the schoolmaster possessed a remarkable equanimity which remained quite undisturbed until that fateful day, when his path was crossed by a woman. A certain woman. Katrina Van Tassel, daughter and only child of old Baltus Van Tassel, the richest farmer in the county. She was a blooming lass, plump as a partridge. Ripe, melting and rosy-cheeked. Once you have met that little coquette Katrina, You won't forget Katrina, But nobody yet has ever upset Katrina, That cute coquette Katrina, You can do more with Margaret or Helena or Anne or Angelina. But Katrina will kiss and run, To her, a romance is fun, With always another one to start. And yet when you've met that little (3)________________ Katrina, you've lost your heart.

Narrator: Truth to say, every portal to Katrina's heart was jealously guarded by a host of rustic admirers. Ha, but Ichabod was confident he'd soon ride roughshod over these simple country bumpkins. The most formidable obstacle of all, however, the schoolmaster had failed to reckon with. That was the redoubtable Brom Bones himself. Now the ease with which Brom cleared the field of rivals both piqued and provoked the fair Katrina. And she often wished that some champion would appear and for once take the field openly against the boisterous Brom. Though a wiser man would have shrunk from the competition, love, they say, is (7)________________. Ichabod was aware only that Dame Fortune was at last thundering at his door. It's true that Brom liked a joke as well as the next, but enough was too much. It was time to carry the issue to open warfare. Why, he'd double that schoolmaster up and lay him on a shelf in his own schoolhouse! Haha, but this, it seemed, was easier (8)________________ than done. No doubt of it, this was Ichabod's lucky day.

Thus one (10)________________ in particular carried a most personal and provocative summons.
