Persuasion, Chapter 16
Anne continues to acquaint herself with the ins and outs of daily life and society in Bath, which involves relations both old and new. When the Dowager Viscountess Dalrymple, a distant cousin, arrives in Bath, Anne for once wishes her father and sister had more pride, as they bend over backwards to make her acquaintance. At least she seemingly has a like-minded friend in Mr. Elliot, although Anne still harbors some suspicion about his motives. Nevertheless, he is her pleasantest acquaintance in Bath, and she'll take what she can. Anne is doing her best to make the most of Bath, and as she does, let her efforts help you make the most of your night with deep and restful sleep.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Friday Favorites: Pride and Prejudice - Mr. Darcy's First Proposal
Elizabeth is still reeling from finding out that Mr. Darcy interfered in Bingley and Jane's relationship, when the man himself shows up Hunsford. He's calling on her with a request that takes her totally by surprise: Mr. Darcy wants to marry Elizabeth! Unfortunately, his proposal is more insulting than affectionate, as he focuses as much on the inferiority of Elizabeth's connections as his own desire to marry her. At least his mode of declaration makes it easier for Elizabeth to refuse, than had he behaved in a more gentleman-like manner. This week's Friday Favorites is a true classic. Let the comforting words of Mr. Darcy's ill-fated first proposal be a balm as they accompany you into a night of soft and restorative slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
