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 Artistic Career of Corky, Part 1. In the previous part, Bertie managed to get hold of his uncle's manuscript,

but Jeeves arranged for it to be published regardless,

as a means of breaking off Bertie's engagement with Florence,

a decision which Bertie ultimately came to approve of.

In tonight's story, Jeeves and Worcester navigate the chaotic world of New York's art scene, whilst helping a friend named Corky win over a wealthy

uncle who disapproves of his artistic ambitions.

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. The artistic career of Corky Part 1

You will notice, as you flit through these reminences of mine, but from time to time the scene

of action is laid in and around the city of New York,

and it is just possible that this may occasion the puzzled look and the start of surprise.
