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 short story for you.

Tonight is a really wonderful short story by Sarah Orrin Jewett that I know is going to help you really conk out and do a deep slumber.

And before we get to the bedtime reading,

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

which is a wonderful site where you can go and pledge a couple bucks

for an ad-free version of Sleepy,

and also just support the people who make the stuff they like.

So thank you so much to all of our patrons.

All of you mean so much to me that you are a part of making this show.

And if you're listening and you don't know,

Patreon members get cool perks for donating

a dollar, $2 a month. Again, $2, you get an ad-free version of Sleepy. But even $1

$1 means so much to me. Um, that's what most of our patrons give.'s just a single buck every month and um no matter

how much you donate even a dollar i'll read your name on the opening credits of our next sunday show

after you do and i would love to do that so if this show has helped you get a better night's sleep

and you want to be directly a part of making it,

go to patreon.com slash sleepy radio.

Thank you.

And as always, the music you're hearing is by my good friend James Lepkowski,

and the cover-up for Sleepy is by Gracie Canaan.

The night's um get a really lovely short story.
