Anne's back at Uppercross, but not for long, as Lady Russell has returned, and that means it's time for Anne to make her way to Kellynch Cottage, and then to Bath. Yet, she can't help but reflect on how precious the time at Uppercross has been, for helping her rekindle a treasured friendship - and how much she prefers the company and concerns of the Musgroves and her new friends from Lyme over those of her relations in Bath. It's a time of transition for Anne, and let her story help you with your own transition from the worries of your day into another night of soft and gentle sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

The Hunsford party is on their way to dinner at Rosings, much to Mr. Collins's delight. And that means it's time to meet another favorite character, the imperious Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

The first encounter with Lady Catherine's noble condescension is a memorable one, so let this week's Friday Favorites help you end your week with a night of restful and restorative sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Persuasion, Chapter 12
The second day of the party's visit to Lyme is going swimmingly: early morning walks by the sea, and even a chance encounter between Anne and a well-bred gentleman, who seems to be her cousin and heir to Kellynch Hall, Mr. Elliot. But it all comes to a shattering halt as Louisa Musgrove's jump from the Cobb steps ends in a critical injury. Anne steps up to lead the group's response, and Captain Wentworth can't help but notice, and admire. It's an emotional roller coaster of a day, and as the group goes through the highs and lows, let their story fill your mind and help you forget your day, as you sink into another night of peaceful slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - Elizabeth Arrives at Hunsford
After an uneventful winter, Elizabeth and the Lucases are finally off on their journey to meet Charlotte and Mr. Collins at Hunsford. There's a quick stop in London to see the Gardiners and Jane, and then, at last, the Collins's humble abode. It's almost pleasant, as long as you forget about Mr. Collins, which Elizabeth suspects Charlotte does rather often. The visitors even get a glimpse of Miss de Bourgh from the window, and the promise of a future dinner at Rosings. As Elizabeth settles into her new surroundings, let her journey help you settle into your bed, as this week's Friday Favorites helps you drift into an evening of gentle sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
