Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - Lydia is Found
Longbourn is aflutter with the arrival of an express from London - Lydia has been found at last! She and Wickham are not yet married, but soon will be, as long as Mr. Bennet agrees to the terms of the agreement that Mr. Gardiner has secured. The cost to the Bennets is much less than they were expecting, leading them to suspect that their dear uncle has paid more money to Wickham than they can ever hope to repay. It's a troubling thought, but at least the Bennet daughters can occupy themselves with handling their mother's renewed energy towards wedding clothes. Securing Wickham and Lydia's marriage may have cost ten thousand pounds, but this week's Friday Favorites is free, so let it accompany you as you relax into a night of deep and restorative sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - The Search for Lydia
Mr. Bennet and Mr. Gardiner are both in London, doing their best to uncover where Lydia and Wickham may be hiding. No one knows of any of Wickham's friends or relations - all they have been able to uncover is lots and lots of gambling debts. A letter from Mr. Collins offers nothing more than his unhelpful opinions, and eventually Mr. Bennet makes his way home, leaving the Gardiners to continue the search. This week's Friday Favorites is exhausting business, so let the story help you beat your own exhaustion by falling into another night of peaceful and relaxing sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
