Ichabod Crane is enamored with Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter and only child of "a substantial Dutch farmer."

There is no doubt that Ichabod, who has always had "a soft and foolish heart towards the [opposite] sex," becomes even more attracted to the rosy-cheeked Katrina after he visits the van Tassel farm and the mansion in which they dwell.

Balthus Van Tassel, Katrina's "liberal-hearted" father, owns a huge barn and a large farm that has geese, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowl, "troops of sucking piglets," and other potential delights for the table.

The pedagogue's mouth watered, as he looked upon this sumptuous promise of luxurious winter fare.

Ichabod, who loves food, imagines the succulent roasting-pig, and the ducks in another roasting dish. Later, he gazes upon the rich fields of wheat, rye, and Indian corns, as well as the orchards of various fruit trees. So, when Ichabod enters the mansion after taking in the splendor of the van Tassel farm, "the conquest of his heart was complete." He, therefore, turns his attention to Katrina and he forms his plans on how to win the affections of the "peerless daughter" of the wealthy farmer.
