:31:37
Oh.
Pardon my intrusion.

:31:40
- I saw a light.
- It is no intrusion.

:31:41
I come here to read
when I am wakeful.

:31:49
- To read books which you must hide?
- They were my mother's books.

:31:53
My father believes
tales of romance...

:31:55
cause the brain fever
that killed my mother.

:31:57
She died two years ago
come midwinter.

:32:00
The nurse who cared for her during
her sickness is now Lady Van Tassel.

:32:05
There was something else too.
:32:07
Why did no one think to mention...
:32:09
that the Van Garretts
are kin to the Van Tassels?

:32:11
Because there is hardly
a household in Sleepy Hollow...

:32:14
that is not connected to every other
by blood or marriage.

:32:17
I see.
:32:23
This land we're looking at
was Van Garrett land,

:32:26
given to my father
when I was in swaddling clothes.

:32:29
The Van Garretts were the richest family
around these parts.

:32:31
When my father brought us
to Sleepy Hollow,

:32:33
Van Garrett set him up with an acre
and a broken-down cottage.

:32:36
My father worked hard for his family,
and prospered and built this house.

:32:40
I owe my happiness
to him.

:32:43
I remember living poor
in the cottage.

:32:46
- Should I show you?
- Yes.

:32:52
Take this.
It is my gift for you.

:32:56
No, I have no use
for it.

:32:58
Are you so certain
of everything?
