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!

It's Christmas at Longbourn, and that means the arrival of the Bennet girls' favorite uncle and aunt: Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner. They're always a warm and wise addition to the family, and now is no different.

Her comforting presence is a balm to them all, so let it be a balm to you too, as this week's Friday Favorites helps soothe you into a night of peaceful slumber.-----Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!
