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

A Room with a View by E. M. Forster. Chapter 12, 12th chapter, and chapter 13, how Miss Bartlett's

boiler was so tiresome.

In the previous chapter, it is revealed that Cecil has secretly arranged for the Emerson's to rent

Sissy Villa, partly to mock Sir Harry's snobbery, leaving Lucy feeling humiliated and betrayed. Retreating to Mrs. Weiss's

London flat, Lucy tries to convince herself it doesn't matter, yet Charlotte's anxious letter

revives the Florence scandal and Lucy's secret guilt. In London's brittle, fashionable atmosphere,

and your breath soften as we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep.
