In this excerpt from Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle," which three parts reveal the setting?
As he was about to descend, he heard a voice from a distance, hallooing, "Rip Van Winklel Rip Van Winkler" He looked round, but could see
nothing but a crow winging its solitary flight across the mountain He thought his fancy must have deceived him, and turned again to descend,
when he heard the same cry ring through the still evening alr: "Rip Van Winklel Rip Van Winkler-at the same time Wolf bristled up his back, and
giving a low growi, skulked to his master's side, looking fearfully down into the glen. Rip now felt a vague apprehension stealing over him; he
looked anxiously in the same direction, and perceived a strange figure slowly toiling up the rocks, and bending under the weight of something
he carried on his back. He was surprised to see any human being in this lonely and unfrequented place but supposing it to be some one of the
neighborhood in need of his assistance, he hastened down to yield it.
