And now a few ads before tonight's story.

Welcome to send me to sleep, the place to find relaxing stories for a good night's rest.

My name's Andrew. Thanks for joining me.

Tonight I'll be reading Part 12, Chapter 15 continued of A Little Princess by Francis Hodgson Burnett. In the previous chapters, Randas and a secretary from the house

next door secretly enter Sarah's attic and arrange their

plans to magically transform the miserable room to make it more comfortable.

Meanwhile, a cold and hungry Sarah returns to find her friend Ermengarde with new books.

Sarah is overjoyed and agrees to read them for Ermengarde, then make stories of them

for her to learn from.

As they talk, Ram Dass secretly watches them from the roof, ready to begin his magical plan.

Now that we're caught up with the story so far, let's get ourselves ready for sleep.

Start by taking a deep, relaxing bread.

And settle your body in whatever way feels most comfortable.

Now let any thoughts of the day drift away from your mind.

And simply follow the sound of my voice.

So let your eyes fall heavy and your breath soften as we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep.

...and... That didn't sound like Melchizedek, she said.

It wasn't scratchy enough.
