In the story The Legend of Sleepy
Hollow, by Washington Irvin, the big party that you are referring to takes
place in the household of the Van Tassum family. This is a very rich family of
merchants and is, perhaps, the richest of the city.
When
Ichabod is invited, he asks for Baltus Van Tassum. The answer that he gets comes from
Katrina, who identifies herself and explainsto him that she is Baltus's daughter. Other
than that short exchange of words, Ichabod really isnot in the position to ask any more
questions to Katrina, especially personal questions. He, however, becomes enthralled
with her and quickly sees her as the love of his
life.
However, Katrina knows that Ichabod is awkward and
uses his company only to make Brom, the town's beefcake, jealous. In the end she
actually marries Brom and Ichabod's disappearance remains a
mystery.
