Storyteller Quotes in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
“That there is no situation in life but has its advantages and pleasures—provided we will but take a joke as we find it:
That, therefore, he that runs races with goblin troopers is likely to have rough riding of it.
Ergo, for a country schoolmaster to be refused the hand of a Dutch heiress is a certain step to high preferment in the state.”
“Faith, sir,” replied the story-teller, “as to that matter, I don’t believe one-half of it myself.”
