Carry on Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse. The Rummy Affair of Old Biffy, Part 1. In the previous part, Jeeves once again manufactures a solution to the day's problems

by taking Rocky's aunt to see a political activist, who changes her mind about the

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

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