Persuasion, Chapter 14
After leaving Uppercross, Anne's time at Kellynch Cottage with Lady Russell is brief. They receive a visit from Mary and Charles, back from Lyme with updates on Louisa and Captain Benwick. The captain certainly sounds smitten with Anne, but he's too shy to travel to Kellynch to call on her, much to Anne and Lady Russell's disappointment. They spend a cozy and chaotic Christmas with the Musgroves, and then it's off to Bath, the prospect of which is as dreadful to Anne as it is welcome to Lady Russell. As Anne's time in one place concludes and a new one begins, let it help you conclude your day and move into a night of peaceful and restorative slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - Mr. Darcy Arrives at Rosings
Things in Kent just got a little more interesting: Mr. Darcy and his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam have just arrived at Rosings. After a dinner together where Elizabeth gets to play and sing for the party, the gentlemen spend their time calling at Hunsford to visit the ladies - Mr. Darcy even calls on Elizabeth by herself. Yet, Elizabeth is puzzled by Mr. Darcy's frequent visits, since he rarely says much to anyone, in contrast to his warm and friendly cousin. In this week's Friday Favorites, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth come back into each other's orbit once again, and as they do, let their comforting presence help accompany you into an evening of relaxing sleep. -----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Persuasion, Chapter 13
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!
