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,

Carry on Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse.

The Aunt and the Sluggard, Part 2.

In the previous part, Bertie must give a helping hand to his lazy poet friend, Rocky Todd, after he received an unexpected fortune

from his aunt, who wished him to experience a life in New York vicariously through him.

As Rocky deplored the idea, the ever-resourceful Jeeves concocted a scheme to keep Rocky's aunt entertained with false letters of his adventures.

This plan backfires, however, when Rockies Aunt unexpectedly arrives in the city to visit.

Before we begin tonight's story, 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. I'm......... The Aunt and the Sluggard, Part 2

All that stuff about being refined by suffering, you know.

Suffering does give a chap a sort of broader and more sympathetic
