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 3, Music, Violets and the Letter S, and Chapter 4,

the fourth chapter. In the previous part, Lucy was escorted by the eccentric

Miss Lavish through Florence to see the Church of Santa Crochet. However, upon arrival,

Miss Lavish wandered away, leaving Lucy alone and lost. Soon after, she happened

to run into Mr. Emerson and his son George, though their brash comments in the church

made her unsure if her cousin Charlotte would approve of her associating with them. After a short

while, she decided she did quite like them,

though their brash comments in the church made her unsure if her cousin Charlotte would approve

of her associating with them. After a short while, she decided that she did quite like them,

despite their unconventional nature, just in time for her cousin Charlotte to also appear at the church.

These chapters contain themes of violence and death, so listener discretion is advised.

Before we begin tonight's story, let's get ourselves ready for sleep.

Start by taking a deep, relaxing breath.

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. Chapter 3
