Hey, my name's Otis Gray, and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep,

and this is a midweek bedtime story for you.

Okay. And this is a midweek bedtime story for you. Well, tonight, I have a wonderfully romantic, heartbreaking little story from an author that we have not read in the show before.

I'm very happy to bring to you.

And before we get to the bedtime reading,

I just want to generally thank all of our patrons on patreon.com.

You are so incredible.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And for anyone who doesn't know, Patreon is this great site that allows you to directly support the people who make the stuff that you like.

Simple as that. So if you like Sleepy and you want to be a part of making the show, in exchange for an ad-free version of it, or to have your name read in the opening credits

of the next show after you donate, then you can go to patreon.com slash sleepy radio and donate.

$2 gets you access to the ad-free fee, which I think is very worth it.

But even if you donate $1, then I will read your name in the opening credits of our next Sunday show.

So again, if you like Sleepy, maybe it's become part of your nightly routine.

Helps you get a better night's rest.

And consider going to Patreon.com

slash Sleepy Radio and donate

even a dollar. It would mean a lot.

Thank you.

And as always, the music you're hearing
